Subwoofer hook up
As it turns out, it doesn't matter anyway. After setting up the Maggies, there is more than enough wonderful, musical bass. As a previous Maggie owner, I should have known this, but feared that the smaller MG12 would be deficient. It isn't!! So......

Thanks Drew.

Thanks, but no one has answered the question. WILL the xover setting on the sub filter the low frequencies going to the Maggies IF I wire them as described? 
Any Emerald Physics owners in Pittsburgh?
Thanks Todd. I may take you up on that. Either way, it's nice to meet a fellow Burgher that's into audio!

Bump, just in case...

I've decided to tear into my IIIs and see what I can do...not really losing anything at this point. I've been watching ads here and on the auction site. There have been several times I would have pulled the trigger, but no one wants to ship. Seems...

Tmsorok...that's not gonna happen. LOLFrogman....I agree with your assessment on the IIIs. I guess I will sit tight for a bit and if a good deal on 3.6s (or even IIIas) doesn't pop up, send mine in to Magnepan. Thanks for the input.

Hifiharv...I talked to them a couple months ago and they said they would work on them. Josh...don't think I want to get into that....above my pay grade. LOL. Frogman...thanks for that. I've heard people say that the 3.6 was the first of the series...

Monitor Audio Made in China?
I recently bought a pair of MA BR 5 (made in China) and a pair of S6 (made in UK). Both are excellent for what they are and I see NO difference in quality. 
Creek Destiny -- Maggies?
Thanks for all the suggestions. A shop here offered to let me take home an 840 to try. My first preference is to fix my current amp, so I will wait and see what this guy thinks. If he can't do anything, I'll be checking out all the recommendations! 
Creek Destiny -- Maggies?
I know what you mean about power/current. I will be going from 500/channel into 4 ohms. The good news is that I got a line on a repair guy locally that might be able to help me. I'd much prefer getting this amp going than buying a new one. 
Review: Harman Kardon HK-3490 Amplifier
I couldn't disagree more. I just got this, hoping to use it temporarily while my main amp is being repaired. The first example didn't last an hour driving 4 ohm Maggies before it fried. Even in the time it worked, it was the most feeble sounding 1...
