RE: S'phile Recommended Components & Audio Research

Magnepan would still have the patent so if someone copied them they could sue. I just don't buy the reasoning. Whether people see the measurements or buy the speaker and reverse engineer it - it can be copied.

And indeed - they've already been ripped open by Magnestand who basically called the stock speakers junk - that is until you buy his modifications :-)

To read some reports they're the best speakers since sliced bread - chortle. They were at best mediocre (being nice) at CES - yet another reviewer chose them best of show LOL - I mean my God it's truly sad.

I much preferred them Audio Note's Soro (an amp about 1/8 the price of the SS gear) and CD player. The dealer also preferred the combo. Though I actually liked the sound more than Magnepan dealer!!!

Anyway - what Magnestand guy heard is pretty much what I hear every time I hear them. If you have to have a panel speaker - IME Electrostatic is the only way to go.
