My first experience with Magnepan's was back in the 70's and I was at a friend of friends house and was hearing the most glorious music, but couldn't see the speakers. The friend of the friend laughed and said they were the things that looked like room dividers. I knew at some point I would own a pair. What I didn't realize, it would be over 25 years later.

Anyway, my first pair were 1.6qr's that I paired up to a pair of Marantz 9's, a McIntosh MX110 Pre, and the AH! Tjoeb CDP. I also had the B&W subs going on.

Many changes since then, still a damn nice set-up!

The hook was when I was watching a movie and there was a scene where it was raining and I literally could hear the rain dropping all around me, it was freaky surreal.
