    Seriously stop, just freaking stop already.

    You don't like cables, we all get it. There is no use for this crap. Someone posted this to help people who ARE looking for it, not to start a stupid debate with you because you don't like them. Shut up already with it all.

    Don't flatter yourself. You need to get a grip. I never said anythin to intimidate you. I merely said shut up because you are trying to make a thread to help people find stuff to buy into your little rant about cables. It got old the 20 times before and its beyond old now. For someone who cries that this forum never shows respect to new people you sure don't respect anyone to get it.

    Cheap way to get into maggies, especially if you're local and don't have to pay shipping:

    Decent price, but if it goes any higher its almost cheaper to just buy a set new for 500. That and then if you want to go bigger you can trade in the MMG's for credit toward the bigger pairs.

    it's a BIN. I think the MMG's are 600 new now. If you're local, it's a good deal.

    I agree. Shipping Maggies makes my twinge as they are kinda fragile and prone to get damaged if not packaged and handled right....

    I hate to think the "fun" John will have when he moves making sure those Maggies dont get damaged lol

    ...Shipping Maggies makes me twinge...

    Same here! And the boxes they come with are absolutely not adequate to ship in. You have to make your own box around the factory box. When I see sellers advertise that they're shipping 1.6's or even 3.6's in the original boxes it makes physically ill.

    I don't have issues moving them with a helper, but I wouldn't want somebody else doing it...

    Yup, if I buy em they will be either NIB from a dealer or Magnepan, local, or from a trusted forum member who knows how to ship lol

    Yeah but the 20's are a bit big and you cant exactly put them on the truck sandwiched between other items like you might be able to with something like SDA's lol...

    They almost warrant their own Uhaul :biggrin:, just like his amps :eek:

    Shotgun S3's for 450.00 on the Gon. Great deal! However doesn't sound like he is going to include all the ICONN connections which when you buy from Joe etc comes with them all.
