only at low levels or DIRECTLY on axis but only for music analysis, not for enjoyment. the bass hump hid the little low bass they did have. infinitys of the time were a MUCH better buy.
we always laughed at the RSLs whicch didn't get good until the speed screens. today, RSL is back in business and his satellite/subwoofer system is a great buy.

Actually, I SOLD my RSL3600s for 200$ and used that to fund the purchase of some MG-1s.
I've never looked back from that purchase and indeed, sent 'em off to White Bear Lake maybe 20+ years later, to get 'em rebuilt. The only question from Magnepan? What color did I want the Grill Cloth.
Too much is never enough
i almost bought MG1s but ended up with rogers LS3/5As instead. hard choice. i do not regret the rogers purchase but wish i could have afforded both.
now i have MMGs (and spendor s3/5s) and don't want to part with them.

I was never 'in the loop' and wouldn't have known rogers LS3/5 from Rogers and Hammerstein. or Rogers Sound Labs, for that matter.
But when I heard the MG-1 I KNEW. it was so right as to be the ONLY speaker I'd own for the next 20+ years.
People I bought them from were very advanced DIY audio guys. They were even building their own TurnTable last I heard. While I was auditioning the Maggies, they BLEW UP their amp trying to drive some wacky load. An ultrasonic-ish chirp was the amps last gasp. I suspect ALL output devices went open.
Too much is never enough
Heard the Sat/Sub RSL re-do 3 or 4 years ago at T.H.E. Newport.
I wonder how much Speed Screens would cost in TODAYs $$$?
Too much is never enough
the sub/sat system that RSL sells now is NOY a re-do. it is a new design.

The gap between the original owner's SALE to the sales staff and the closing of the stores was maybe 4 or 5 years, IIRC.
The original ownerr bought the name back maybe 20 or so years Later and that's when the Sat/Sub stuff happened. I liked 'em, but have not the room or need.
If I got something for my garage, it'd be a Thrift Store find. My Tivoli #1 is fine for now.
Too much is never enough
i know numerous people that have bought them and have been quite happy. that includes some that just use the woofer.
