They are not very good, just saying.

:lol:

Yep yep.
There are 2 pairs on ebay atm, but both over 4 hour round trip. I'd rather closer or posted.

Style.
Yeah.
To go here ...

So it would be nice if they were transparent to the view.
Big Maggie panels there at the moment, which are kind of intrusive!

Most speakers sound craperoo to me compared to my main system's MBLs, so the pretty glass things are worth a go for what is essentially background music.

Some folk would love 'Big Maggies' -let alone for 'background'!
good luck. Or get Zigmahornets -in fact, you could MAKE them from Perspex?
I was tempted to do this.

Mmm.
Dunno.

As Chris says, they are rather good.
I guess that it's partly that after 6+ years with the keeper MBLs it's kinda fun to be thinking about speaker-swapping again! :D

I've been perusing eBay speaker listings and there's a number of items of interest, glass and non-glass.

1st dibs to you, Alan, if the Maggies do go up for sale. :)
