Replacing My Maggie 3.6R


Many of you know I have been a Magnepan fan for a long time with my first pair of 2.6's in the 90's.  As I evolved to prefer tube power with these speakers I upgraded to the 3.6R, Manley Neo Classic Amps and Vandersteen 2W Sub.  About two years ago I added stereo Rel's and truly  thought the quest was over.  Over the years I have tried to move on from Magnepan but could never find a box to deliver the soundstage and imaging.   I've listened to Revel, B&W, Focal, KEF, Harbeth among others.  More recently listened to Acora, Joseph Audio, and Magico and many other A listers.  I came close with SF Amati and even closer with Vimberg Mino, with the Mino's just out of my financial reach.  I then attended AXPONA 2024 for the first time and listened too so many I've forgotten, but I did  listened to MBL's and I was sold!

If you love Maggies like I do, pprocter is right.  Buy the 3.7's  Night and day improvement over 3.6's. 

 

For sure. 3.7s are killer!

Speaking as a pro musician for 50 plus years, I find that people who complain about bass on Maggies, especially larger ones, do not know what real bass is supposed to sound like.
