    Ah - the good old battleship grey Cambridge Audio livery. It was panned by the reviewers, as were the buttons on the CD player (they described them as reminiscent of poking dead flesh). Very unfair, b

  • I dunno, can i post this here? The leather was just an idea - making some matching wood pulls would be cool - maybe when things die down at M&O of course my speaker cables are too short

Love the Maggies :wub:

Kerry,

Wendell Diller came into town last week for his latest roadshow, demo-ing these:

(pic is not from the shop where I heard them, but I don't have a decent pic from that night)

Inside panels are for mid & upper freqs, while outer panels are for lows.

Modern day Tympani? 

Yeah, the new 30.7

$30,000 for the set.

I absolutely love the Magnepan sound.  I have the 1.6 model, but fell in love originally with some of the larger models.  I've had mine since 1989 and still like the open feel.

Great minds,..

Construction techniques most folks can only dream of!

The breadboard that never went away.

Although I’ve always liked the sound of the Maggies I never had the pleasure of owning a pair. 

I had a pair of Apogee Duetta Signatures that I loved. I foolishly sold them to a friend because I could never set them up properly to get reasonable soundstage in the house I had. 

There is another major disadvantage of the Apogees - they need monstrous amps to drive them properly. The Maggies on the other hand seem much less peaky and open up many options for amping.

Need a bigger screen :)

What racks are those? I'm in the market for something that can hold my electrostatic setup.

As long as it can hold a T2 I'm down at this point haha

Do you have any recs? You must be a sage when it comes to organizing & displaying audio equipment ?

I have a rather large oak bookshelf modified for audio use (i.e. liberal cutting of holes in the back) but I've used some Ikea ones in the past.  They all seem to be out of production though...
