Norman, I sounds to me like you qualify as being an Audiophile. Anyway,
I think you need to set yourself a target system then go for the pieces of the puzzle when appropriate deals arise.
The 20.7s with the Parasound JC-1 is a killer system but the JC-1 is no longer available new. I think something like this is an ideal target. You can afford the 20.7s if you sell or trade in the 3.6's to a dealer that is willing to deal and they will especially if they know you will be spending like money on an amp down the line. Macs are great amps but IMHO not the best for Maggies. Now JC-1s were extremely popular and with good reason. They do come up on the used market frequently or you could wait untl Parasound comes up with a replacement. John Curl says they absolutely will. 20.7 come up but not that frequently. You will have to spend a lot more on an amp to get one as good or better like a Pass XA200.8 for $42K!
Good Luck!
Mike
