Magnepan MMG
I ordered a pair of MMGs and received them on Thursday. They are going
back. They appear to be very well made but they don't sound as good as my old DBX Soundfield Ones. The 10 inch woofers in the DBX speakers are in poor repair (foam rot) but I have the bass control on the speaker controller set low and the bass is handled by sub woofers. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44=B0 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

Maggies are shipped with the mylar diaphragms tightly stretched. While most of this stuff about speaker break-in, I take with a grain of salt, as someone who has owned many different Magneplanars: Tympani-1Ds, Tympany-3Cs, MG-2s, MG-3Cs, and SMGs (the MMG's predecessor), I can tell you that out of the box, all Magneplanars sound somewhat thin and will for about the first 50 or so hours. as the mylar stretches, they will sound better and better up to a point. I have friend who has a pair of MMGs in his den/office and I think that they sound magnificent, easily the best sounding pair of sub- $1000 speakers that I have ever heard. Give 'em a few weeks, you'll be glad you did. |
