RE: A prejudice against the Magneplanars?

Posted by Peter Gunn on September 20, 2010 at 11:30:21:
Maggies have 2 things going against them where audiophiles go.

1 - Many just don't like planars. The why of that escapes me, but it's true.

2 - Maggies are the only high end speaker that their owners have to "fix" on their own to actually make them high end speakers. Many people look at that and dismiss them out of hand because of it.

I'd put a properly "fixed" maggie up against any planar, or any cabinet speaker as well for that matter, and I do mean any. Yeah, maybe you had to "fix" them and it did cost more but they were (essentially) cheap to begin with and the final cost is still far less than the speaker who's ass they are now kicking.
