COMMENTS FROM REVIEWERS:Marc Mickelson, editor, theaudiobeat.com• "Your sound was truly exceptional -- better than 90% of the systems I heard in Newport."
Excerpts from ultrahighendreview.com - Frank Berry• "When ready to play, the MMC-2s silently swing away from the wall and angle toward the listening position, providing the open area in the front and rear required for their dipole design. The system is much more visually elegant than my description.
• Of course, the bottom line is how it sounds. Wendell Diller played a selection of different genres of music during the 20 minute demo, and while the Magnepan system cannot play at the same dynamic levels or the with the same bone-rattling low frequency of the Kimber setup, it made up for it with not only the delicate, airy presentation you expect from Maggies, but more bass than you would ever imagine, all seamlessly delivered. It was one of those “Is it live or is it Memorex?” moments.
• The system easily bested many of the traditional- and significantly more expensive – two-channel setups in other rooms.”
