If you liked Magnepan, the older Magnepan speakers were constructed with wires cemented to the Mylar film and the cement breaks down over the years causing them to buzz. While it is possible to re-cement the wires, the newer Magnepans changed from cemented wires to quasi-ribbon which no longer has this problem. Thus, you might consider new Magnepan speakers.
Speaker recommendation for Home Theater
Ok. I need some advice. Here is some context: I’ve been out of the HiFi game for over 10 years. My last set of speakers were a Magnepan 5.1 setup with 1.6QR mains, CC3 center and surrounds and a REL B3 Sub. These are starting to buzz due to old age and i figured I might just upgrade all around. I do love the sound of the Maggies in a surround setup but could be up for a change. Total budget would be about $15k (+/-) for a 5.1 setup. I’d also be open to going 7.1.4 with some Atmos action down the road...
I don’t do much 2 channel listening anymore - kids and forced-family-fun have ruled out time for me to sit anywhere for more than 30 seconds except when watching movies.
What say you?
