| Maggie owners (past, present, future) what do (did) you love and or dislike about them? I believe your room is fine and your power adequate. I have had 3.6 Maggies for over 10 years. I went through a number of amps and ended up with a pair of MC501s that make them sing. It was a journey, but most satisfying when the end is so grea... | |
| High value, giant killer speakers? Maggies | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr I have owned 3.6 Maggies for over 10 years. They have lived in a number of rooms, but based upon my experience, 3.7s might be a bit too big for your small room.If budget is an issue, the new LRS planars with strong amplification and a sub might b... | |
| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... Let’s not forget the Allman Brothers drummers, Butch Trucks and Jaimoe (sp?) Johnson. Fabulous tandem | |
| 1973 I was serving in the military in Northern Ireland in 1973 during the "Troubles". Crazy time, checkpoints and body searches everywhere, bombs going off every night.My first decent system was my refuge, along with some Guinness and the occasional b... | |
| My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon Dealers should never trash a line they do not sell. And try not to have an I know it ALL attitude and you lowly aficionados should believe whatever I say because I aell things. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Allman Bros Band, 6 CDs from their last concerts at the Fillmore East, beyond amazing music with how they never play the same sone the same way twice, nirvana to me | |
| I wonder why...... My take on all of this is marginal cost, marginal gain. I am married to an Ivy PhD economist who supports my music jones.When you maximize your speakers, amp, preamp and source, the natural next step is power conditioners, power cords, etc.At tha... | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander I will enter my final comment on this thread. There is an entire community of planar fans who support the planar asylum.Many are Maggie owners who have amazing systems with a variety of supporting gear.Now they are either all stupid and have the ... | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander I think disparaging planar speakers is most disrespectful. They may not be your cup of tea, but accept the are players of quality.The idea that 4 ohm speakers cannot fill a big room is absurd. Yes, they are less efficient, but that is easily mit... | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander You have the power and room size for 10.7 Maggies. Elizabeth often posts about hers.I almost bought a pair when I bought my 3.6s, but my room was too small.Just food for thought. | |
| Is this sign of getting old? Interesting thread, as I am 70 and my listening tastes have expanded, yet I still embrace the songs of my youth.I love old blues, yes I have John Lee Hooker and Howling Wolf on the playlist in my car.Yet I have found Eva Cassidy, Chris Issac and M... | |
| What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio? Three come to mind, Late 60s hearing decent separates for the first time, hearing Maggies for the first time and finally how MC501s made my 3.6 Maggies sing. | |
| What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One? There are places where large sums are wisely spent, and others where it is a fools errand.Part of this hobby is discerning one from the other. Not all of us have unlimited funds, yet we aspire to great sound to give us continuing joy.CDs have the... | |
| I lied to my wife about the price of Stax 009S headphone I feel sorry for those who feel the need to lie to their wives. When I was shopping for my 3.6 Maggies, my wife told me that if I wanted them, I could get the 20.7s, an extra 6 or 7K at that time.We support each other’s hobbies and life remains b... |
