This is factually untrue. I always qualify Magneplanar recommendations by saying they are best suited to acoustic music, and I also mention positioning restrictions.

I have mentioned that Magneplanars can be used with particular subwoofer arrangements to deliver adequate rock sound, but I never recommended them for gut-punch music.

Your own statements are full of implication that any & every serious audiophile ought to prefer SET + high efficiency speakers: this is ridiculous, and insulting. As Mr. P suggests, it's made only more tedious by the relentless insistance that AN is necessarily the best of the best.
