In Reply to: What was your "Eureka!" audio moment? posted by tinear on April 2, 2013 at 11:23:16:
Sometime in 1979 or 80 listening to Magneplanar MGI at a stereo store in San Antonio, TX and thinking to myself damn! it sure sounds like the band is right there... they are playing right in front over there! It's been Maggies ever since
