They're Heeeere--
The 3.6R's have been in the system for about an hour now, having just returned from the dealer with them. right out of the box, they are indeed a quantum leap over the III's. Soundstage depth and image size are more "there". after about 300-400 hrs of burn-in the bass will open up a lot more (not that it is lacking). My dealer has been very good in this purchase, letting me spend as much time with the demos in their room with my music, ordering them from Magnepan, and having them in my hands within 6 days. Will update my virtual system post with new pics (including a "new" version of a DIY rack I made from rock maple slabs in a day or two)
Onemug,
Dude, maybe you're that brother my mom once mentioned years ago.;) Ditto on the perfect wife. Mine just rolled her eyes and smiled when I told her last night about the new speakers (figured I had to. The credit card statement will be in soon, plus when she sees the dealer on the caller ID, she usually knows something is up).
