Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Craigslist Maggie !

$200 Magneplanar II. Read a good bit before visiting the seller. They sounded good in his installation, driven by a generic HT receiver. I was able to lightly feel around both the top and bottom of the panels and I could not feel any evidence of delamination,nor could I hear any buzzing or discontinuities. But for $200 what the heck !

Challenge will be driving them. My main amps are a pair of Cary 40m mono blocks...about 40wpc. I can quickly swap in a Mac 2100 (about 150wpc) if needed, but I would prefer to stay with tubes.

I did notice that the panels are a bit wobbly on their bases. L brackets between the panels and base, along with a few bricks to weight down the brace will take care of that.

Looking forward to listening !
