> It's true when my salesperson told me owning these are like being married (if Maggie says move the couch and does'nt like the curtains, you move the couch and get rid of the curtains!).
It is funny but has some truth in it. I have been a Magneplanar speakers fan for about 11 years. I have and had owned MMG, 1.5, 3.5 and 20 now. It is just like a relationship. You have to spend time and money on them to get them right, then you can get the best out of them. Too bad, a lot of people are wowed at begining but give them up later on due to many reasons.
Anyway, I can't say I have a lot of experience wit high end loudspeakers. But I have been very disappionted by those megbuck speakers, such as JMlab Utopia, Revel Ultima Salon, so on. If I have to give Maggies up to have some box speakers, I can only think about Merlin, Spendor and Audio Physic line. Magneplanar speaker does make me put a big question mark on many speakers, especially those gigantic "systems", for me. Can those things sound good?
