RIP Jim … had a pair of Maggies for years! A sad day for the hobby!

I have Jim Winey to thank for my love of the open baffle, planar, panel sound.

Ever since the first day I heard MMG's and the MGLR-1's that I purchased in the late 90s, I have been hooked for life. Now that I finally own Maggies again, I really don't think I'll ever be without them, or at least some form of panel loudspeakers.

R.I.P. Mr Winey.

RIP. I also owned Magnepan speakers in my audio journey.

Yes. My med school years were buffered by my Maggies, driven by a B&K ST 202. Marriage forced their resignation... Maggies were fantastic, and I thank Mr. Winey for his contribution to audio.
