a couple hours ago when i was listening to Ænima by Tool on my jh-13s before work. That album, not only is it an amazing cd musically, but the sound quality on it is spectacular, if only 10,000 days sounded that good.
and just to reminice a little bit, i remember my very first eargasm, like 7 years ago i was shopping for a new set of speakers that my dad was going to buy me for christmas. I went to several Hifi shops in the eugene OR area. I always do research online before i go, thought i wanted some polks. but i got there, and started listening to many other speakers, to include B&W, paradigm, Polk, Vandersteen. and then we got to these funny looking ones, they looked like big panels, little did i know i was about to meet the love of my life. The magnepans, playing Stadium Arcadium by the Red Hot Chili Peppers(i know bad sound quality, but its one of my favorite records, and i know it very well) was the most amazing thing i had ever heard. Now i had to settle for some paradigm monitor 7's which were the closest i could get to that sound in a dynamic, but as soon as i have the room for a set of maggies, they will be the first thing i buy, and though i hate to admit it, my JH-13's will be relegated to late night/portable use only. The ability of the maggies to permeate the room with sound, and layer the sound, with transparency and detail is the most amazing thing ive heard
though maybe some DIY magneplanars are in order
