Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: The pro's and cons of Magnepan???

IMHO,
Pros:

Superb transparency, music emanating from the almost the entire length of the enclosure

Cons:

- One-note bass in the smaller Maggies. Great bass is only achieved when they are really wide ... i.e. much more expensive models

- Extremely narrow sweet spot. Move your head just a bit up/down, left/right, and the sound changes dramatically

- difficult to drive, need lots of power. Of course, they'll work with 50 watts, but the speakers' potential is wasted
