New Magneplanar Bass Panel DWM
Josh here is what magnepan says about ithttp://www.magnepan.com/using_DWMPhasing-- Imagine scribing a line on the floor at the same distance as the speakers by using a string attached to the listening chair. The Bass Panel can be placed anywhere o... 
Question about Pass Labs X 350.5 meter
My older X250 needle takes about 10-15 min to come to its final place. 
$13K used Budget for new system
My system followed pretty closely to your own. I have a total of $9700 in my used system. I went with Ayre C5xeMP, Ayre K5xe, APC S15, Pass Labs X250, Magnepan 3.6, and Grover Huffman cables throughout. I have never liked Wilson's very much. So I ... 
New Magneplanar Bass Panel DWM
They also suggest the DWM to be on the same plane as the speakers but 12 inches closer to the listener. I cannot see any WAF in these as it looks like you would have to have a dedicated room to be able to pull this off. 
Replacement for Maggie's?
I am very happy with them so far. The wife finds the appearance acceptable :) I actually like the Dark Cherry on white pretty well in person. The bass on the 3.6 is a night and day difference from the 1.6's. The 3.6 are overall a better speaker. W... 
hair brained idea and a hello
Check emotiva out. It's very good gear for very reasonable prices. Call them and they can help get you lined out with what you need. I am thinking a USP-1 with a UPA-200 and a set of their towers. This should bring you to about $1200 for a good st... 
Replacement for Maggie's?
A agree that the black with cherry is the best looking Maggie. But she has only seen pictures of the 3.6's. I am bringing them home now. Got them for $1400!!! 
Replacement for Maggie's?
Pryso, they are white with dark cherry. She did comment that the black didn't draw as much attention to itself so she liked the all black better. lol 
Another audio dealer bites the dust
Minor1, You are still suppose to pay your taxes to your city/state/county when you purchase something online. When you buy something from out of state online they not charge you tax because you are suppose to send the money in yourself. No most do... 
Replacement for Maggie's?
I must say I have never listened to a pair of Gunn's speaker mods but I could never bring myself to pay him as much as he want. I would much rather spend the extra money and buy a new pair of 3.7's than to have his mod. There is also the issue wit... 
Replacement for Maggie's?
Well I may potentially have a pair of 3.6's lined up. It's still on the fence from the sellers side until he gets a few things ironed out but I am possibly picking them up next week. As my wife stated "your lucky I love you" I told her that if she... 
Replacement for Maggie's?
Thanks for the ideas guys, it sounds like I really need to take a road trip to listen to some different gear. I have thought about adding subs but felt it smeard the sound a little. Not sure if that's the right term, but it didn't sound as good in... 
Replacement for Maggie's?
Brownsfan is on the right path. While I love what the 1.6's do I am craving the things that the appropriately suggested 3.7's would give, but WAF is standing in the way. The 1.6's are about as large as I can go. I guess I am looking for suggestion... 
Replacement for Maggie's?
Things would be much easier if I had a dedicated room. It's definitely on the list for our next home. I guess I should add, has anyone found a speaker that gives you the great aspects of Maggie's without the negatives. I have listened to the 3.7's... 
What do audiophiles listen in their cars?
In my 95 Chevy with all the wonderful road noise :) I listen to either talk radio or a local jazz station that sounds as if they are broadcasting from underground.
