| Anybody want to talk about the JBL studio 590? I have the Studio 530 stand mount version and it can embarrass a lot of speakers under 2k, including the LS50. Looks and finish though....not impressive. | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! But can they compete with the latest and greatest Tekton DI? 😛 At some point someone will have heard both. | |
| Auditioning Magnepan MMGi's and 1.7i's (and possibly the 3.7i's) on Monday The OP starts several threads a day over at reddit /audiophile.

| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! I have no desire to turn this into a discussion about what people pay for wire. My point is that without a comparison, everything can just be so great. | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! DeVore a great value? Compared to what? Vandersteen? Magnepan? Tekton? I know that he wants to reward sponsors with good publicity, but it's a slippery slope and he lost me at Kimber. | |
| Magnepan 30.7’s Here is an originally priced 30k planar if you can’t wait. https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ele/6576314570.html | |
| Magnepan 30.7’s I have a feeling that these won’t be very profitable to make, but a true flagship creates a halo effect on the rest of the lineup. |
