MEMO: To all Bryston Representatives
SUBJECT: Magnepan Demo at CES 2008
The latest Absolute Sound Magazine (April/May 2008) issue has CES show coverage by most of their reviewers. Harry Pearson ended his CES show coverage article with the Maggie Room at the Alexus Park.
Here is what he had to say:
"Last, but, hardly least, Magnepan, in a special room at the Alexus Park, set up a demonstration that didn't look, on paper, all that promising, but, which was, in fact, perhaps another omen of things to come in speaker situating. .........all of planar design and in this application, motorized........as well as a planar woofer panels under what looked like, and was for all practical purposes, end tables.
You had to hear it to believe it: a terrific spread, and for once, quite wide dynamic contrasts, and from a Maggie no less, plus a midrange and high end lower in distortion than any of the company's smaller speakers........A word about the design: The midrange drivers in the panel are the result of Jim Winey's work on developing a computer speaker.......The effect: breathtaking. And something from a company that had been seeking new directions.
.....So, when it came down to what I heard (at CES), particularly in speaker designs, it was new directions with a resulting new realism".
