RE: New Mini reveiw

Well , I'm not going to justified the price, but the fact is if one wants true ribbon Magnepan sound ( with a new model) and their room and/or budget cannot accommodate the 3.7s, this is the only other option as of now.

My listening room happens to fit in the size requirements stated in the article, and I listen fairly nearfield. So this could be an option for me down the road. I don't look at their woofers as subs, but when doubled, as the bottom third of a three way speaker. This is a good thing in that it is physically isolated from the upper potion.

And I'm already good in the sub department, with 2-12" sealed and 4-15" IB subs. Who knows, maybe the Maggie woofers can make the two 12"ers unnecessary.

The closest other option for my room and budget, for a new Magnepan speaker may be the 1.7, although the size may be pushing it. And I know how you feel about those. :^)

In a few years these will be hitting the used market, they will be easy to ship, and the price may be more agreeable.
