Greetings all,
newbie here from South Bend IN, any other members from around here in the Michiana area? It seem like this forum has many members from the Chicago area, which is about 90 miles west of me. So if you have any get togethers in the Windy City area please let me know.
Also I should explain that I have an all Magnepan system except the subwoofer BIC America V1215, MGIIIA's for mains, MMGC for center channel, 10.1 for surrounds. My computer speakers are also planer, Monsoon MM200.
While I usaully hang around over at the Sound and Vision forum, there are not too many Planer type speaker owners over their. There is also the Magnepan User's Group, but their software is old and creaky and not to user friendly, so here I am.
I was first bitten by the Planer bug when I heard a pair of 7ft Acoustat's back in 85. Since then I have been in awe of all speakers planer:bowdown:
I have to admit I have not heard any Martin Logan speakers to date, I have heard some Carver ALIII's, Apogee's. Would also love to hear some Quad's someday when I get the chance.
Around 2003 I bought the Moonson planer computer speakers off of ebay, this rekindled my intrest in these type of speakers. First I bought a NAD T753 reciever for its ability to handle 4 Ohm loads.
Then I found a pair of the MGIIIA's on ebay for $400.00 in Detroit, some Russian guy who sold used goods bought them at an estate sale for $100. They work great, I think the True Ribbon tweeter really helps, better for off axis listening and do not have the siblance I hear once in awhile in my 10.1 surrounds.
Caught the Audio bug in general when i was serving in the Air Force at Avaino Air Force Base Italy. Most of my friends thought the Bose 901's were king but I always though they sounded like 9 midranges despite their equalizer, I was Bose bashing before it became a trend
Listening habits are a lot of album soundtracks, you know Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Gladaitor, Last of the Mohican's, Somewhere In Time, Jaws, etc.. Cinemagic on XM radio is great for this kind of music.
Otherwise an eclectic mix of Robert Cray, Blues, Electric Light Orchestra, some classical organ and symphony like Bach or Wagner, alternative like NIN, Tears for Fears, Ministry, The Smiths, some country like Johnny Cash, Dwight Yokam, Suzy Boggus, classic rock Deep Purple, Led Zepplin the Who etc..
Anyway I think this is a great looking site, excellent software with cool and friendly members:rocker: Rock On.
