I think you'll see I was the 'naysayer'......the guy with the 11.5x13 foot room and wanting to install a 5 or 7.1 system?
Josh is more video oriented and his points were valid......Their ARE standards for viewing distance vs screen size...based on the apparent size of the screen and the viewing angle.
And while some were 'go for it!' I wanted to put on the brakes. I'd LOVE to hear how that came out.
BTW, Josh is a great guy. You should think about that. HE at least nutted up and went to Minnesotta for the tour.....who ELSE here can say that?
Lots of people talk trash about magnepan quality or 'built to a price' or whatever. NONE of these people own or run a company which has lasted what.....40 years?
Even PG has taken some shots....but HE at least came up with what he thought were a good set of mods and has the guts to sell 'em.....and has takers. HE gets my vote, too.
I've seen / heard many theories about Magnepan...but few can pass the 'make a prediction' test and than verify it. Everyone else? Let's just say they have a high bar to hurdle before I sign on...
Too much is never enough
