Quarter century Maggie owner here. I would love to go to the Chicago showing. Do I just call Quintessence?This sounds like my next speaker! 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
I put the proper cord on my RM-9 but now people want me to put an IEC on there so they can use theirs. I did opimize but thats not good enough for the PC and fuse people. May I also offer that a captive cord has one less pair of connectionsThat i...

Thanks for offering to answer questions!Here is one nobody seems to have asked yet...What is the role and importance of significantly upgraded power cords in component design? It seems to me that the PC is a fundamental part of the electronic devi...

Tekton Double Impacts
Let me jump in on the Tekton Vs Goldenear discussion. I have owned a pair of GE Triton 2s for 4-5 years. Personally, I find my Maggie 3.7i's (when driven properly) superior in every possible way -- midrange, treble, coherency, soundstage, depth, a...

I attended the show and made a point to seek out the Tekton room.  When I arrived I discovered that it was the Positive Feedback room and that they were demoing various low cost speaker systems. I asked them to set ip the DI's and they allowed me ... 
Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers
I own a pair of GE Triton 2s and have heard a pair of Tekton DIs at a local dealer. For me the DI's were significantly better. One reason is that the DI does not require close room boundary reinforcement for the bass. My Triton 2s sound absolutely...

Magnepan 3.7 - 3.7i owners need help please
I have a pair of 30 year old Maggie IIIa's and a pair of new 3.7I's and have to agree that the newer Maggies took hundreds (300-500) of hours to break in. Until they broke in, the soundstage was diffuse, and the bass was less than stellar.  Honest... 
When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better?
My take on the issue is that the big distinction between analogue and digital lies with or revolves around the cartridge. Cartridges sound almost as different to each other as speakers do.  In addition, based upon how you set up the cartridge, you... 
Planar speaker placement
There are extensive threads on the Maggie HK/Limage room placement on the Planar Asylum discussion forum. I have tried it many, many times over the past few years.  The benefits IN MY ROOM (14X20) are phenomenal, jaw dropping soundstage and depth.... 
Magnepan 3.7i with two (2) DWMs with Pass Labs XA100.5
Hi tgonzales,I too have 3.7i's and DWM's. Some questions, as I got confused on the details.By parallel, I think you are stating that you run one set of wires to the main speakers out of one set of taps and you run a second set of wires out of the ...
