Welcome to the forum
I was a Maggy enthusiast a while back. I rebuilt a Maggy llla with hardwood frames and custom xover based on AudioAsylum guys specially AndyR from downunder. Now my favorite are rebuilt Quad 57 which I did about four years ago.

Another welcome to the forum!
I'm getting ready to build another pair of fairly-conventional box speakers. I also have a pair of Magnipan Timpani IVs to rejuvenate.

Welcome to the club. Another Maggie lover here. I've had MG-1s way back when, then Tympani IVs which I modded the crap out of. Space limitations forced sale of those. I'm about to build a semi-open baffle speaker with enclosed lower bass unit.

Never heard Bruce Thigpens push-pull driven planars, but another club member with impeccable credentials speaks very highly of them.

You are in good company!

Welcome to the group. In 2001 I built a dipole set with the upper mids and highs handled by the Bohlender Graebener RD75 planars. It was written up in audioXpress. Here is a photo of the cover. They were not optimum for my current audio room so now I have a set of monopole speakers called the "eggs" which were also written up in AX.
