Not on website yet. I subscribe to the digital version and got it yesterday. I understand that it takes Longer for them to post on website. Print versions were probably mailed yesterday.

I have downloaded it today.
Still some technical desinformation, low mass, no box sound etc. I cannot believe the moving mass is very much different from its predecessors. What mass is it in there? It can be calculated. What is "box" sound? It is not really related to a box or no box. There are boxless speakers with box sound and there are box speakers without box sound. You need to do some blind (unsighted) listening to get the picture.

Now, ain't that the truth?
having owned it's younger brother the 1.6s for many years, even those could rival speakers in the 5 figures.I'm always amazed when box owners would lurk, then visit here and proclaim "the 1.6s cannot do this, cannot do that", only to find out at the end they owned $20K (or more) pairs of speakers.
At $600 the MMGs may be the best 'value' in high-end speakers, but I'd wager the MG1.6 (original introductory cost I think was in the sub $1400 range) as the "biggest bang for your buck" speaker ever created.
The 20 series up that ante by rivaling speakers in the 6 figure range...
Ah...but where has the time gone?? my original setup: circa 1999; 1.6s and ye old trusty 555 Adcom. That room in a house we rented was incredible for the Maggies. We later bought a small condo that never re-capture that sound.
