Moving from Magnepan MGIIIA to 3.6


It may be time to think about trading my beloved MGIIIA up to a pair of the 3.6's. Anybody here make that move? Is there enough of a difference in a positive direction to warrant the expenditure? For the record, my III's are in great shape in both cosmetics and sonics. I am the second owner and the ribbons were replaced when I got them in 1994.
The rest of my setup is listed under systems, and my amps are up to the task of driving the 3.6

It only took an hour of listening with music I know well to convince me. As good as the MG III is, the 3.6R is a quantum leap. I took the plunge today and purchased a pair of 3.6R's. My III's have served me well and I still love them, but those seductive 3.6's.... It's going to take about a week for them to arrive at my dealer from Magnepan. They called while i was there, and they have the wood/sock color combo I wanted in stock(light oak w/off white socks). New technology with retro Maggie looks. As a coda, I also just got a nine week old Golden Retriever pup. Her name: Maggie
Slipknot1- Let us know how the Maggie's get along with one another :) Congratulations on the purchase, the gift that will keep on giving- aka man's best friend :) Enjoy the new speakers, and if/when your ready to tweak'em let me know!
Tireguy,
4 paw drive Maggie ain't allowed in the room with the Maggie twins. I'm really looking forward to getting some hours on these things to get them broken in. Thanks for the tweaking offer, I may have to take you up on some XO advice.
Congrats on both your purchases. We share similiar tastes. I've had my 3.6's for a little over 4 yrs. and a female golden "puppy" for 7 yrs. now. Those and a perfect wife(not necessarily in that order) and I'm a pretty happy kinda guy. I enjoyed our little repartee last week on the solar flares. Could we have been separated at Birth? Good luck!
