These are meant for flats like HP's.

hope to hear some comparisons between the 3.5 and v4s, the increased in bass on the v4 ppl are talking bout doesn't really appeal to me:/

I use the G-cush with distancers (ala MS-Ultimate) and they sound very good.

I still use bowls.  I like the flats but haven't used them in a while, i don't like the g-cush used with the magnum.

It arrived!!!  But the tracking does not even show it arrived, or that it arrived in the states.  
Anyhow, this is got to be the most odd packaging I have ever seen.  
The Magnums are packaged in "hay" instead of foam. It's quite messy I got to say.  But can't wait to listen to it.

I know, right? I gotta vacuum the area around my desk after I unpacked the thing. Doesn't help that the interior box fits the outer one so well that it's a pain in the a** to pull out. =p

hay?

How do take the plastic sticker off the cup?

 

[kenshin27]

I just carefully picked at an edge until it came off and then just pulled.

I got mine today too... agree with the weird "hay" packaging, quite interesting...
 
First impressions:
 
 - Quite a bit heavier than I expected
 - Not the same Grado sound, a bit warmer/smoother (I think)

Now I wish I had the brushed aluminum version and not the new grey speckled version, but I guess it's the sound that matters.
The "shoutiness" is smoothed over with slightly more bass.  But it's still very Grado like to me.  I guess I was expecting it to be more warmer and even more smoother....maybe little less Grado like.  
I will have to listen more to get a better impression.

grey speckled version? O.o I wanna see. I might just be willing to trade. Maybe. I do love the brushed look though.

 

[Nick01]

Can someone explain what exactly is "shouty"???

@ markkr,
 
how come the drivers look white? The drivers on Martin website is black, no?

maybe the drivers come with black, unless they are part of a complete magnum.

The weight of my v2.5 Magnums with just the 325i shells were ridiculously heavy and one of the main reasons I sent them to Martin...well that as well as the fact that I always wanted a woodie and it just made sense to use the Magnums since they sounded so damn good.
