If you haven't, you should
Is there anyone you could say its similar to? Sounds like it may be a cross between eva cassidy and rosanne cash, and that sounds interesting! 
One hit manufacturer
Sean- Thanks for clearing up my confusion :)- there was something unusual about the metal driver that he used, any clue what it was? I know people always made a big deal about the 8" metal cone woofers that were used on that speaker. I don't have ... 
One hit manufacturer
Near they had a speaker called the 50ME II and they were pretty darn good- one of the first if not the first speaker to use metal coned drivers. They made a few other products but none ever really caught on like the 50ME II and then they were gone... 
Jazz Guitar Tune At 6:48 P.M. On Weather Channel ?
Pat- You know if I had a tv, I would be paying attention but I can't help ya! If you find out what it is let me know, if its worth 2 different threads here, its at least worth a listen! How's the un-rotary project coming along? ;) 
Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma..
Rooze- Did a little testing with some of the information you gave me. On Clapton's unplugged track 13, with my BAT VK-500w/bat pak(amp 1) I didn't hear the bass line until 64dB- as where everything else was very audible before. I pushed up to 92dB... 
Best sub match for Magnepan 3.5's
Try asking this over at MUG a lot of folks are running subs and they have lots of experience with it, you may be able to search this topic and find a lot of information quickly. I believe a lot of them are using Rel subs and love the results, but ... 
CD players with volume control ?????
Ritteri- How foolish I must be, I just listen and get the components that sound best to me in my system, I gotta stop doing that! 
No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done?
Gullahisland- What seems to be your problem? He did clearly say The Atma-sphere is NOT a ribbon tweeter eater. I assume he meant either not eater. I have a great understanding of the English language and how to use it- appreciate your insight thou... 
No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done?
If that's the case why did you think that I said your amps had ribbon tweeters in them? Just calling them like I see them. And I do have experience with OTL and maggies just not the atma-sphere's so try and relax this hobby is suppose to be fun ;) 
No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done?
Greenman- Your missing what I said, the magnepan uses a ribbon tweeter- I sure hope your amp doesn't have a tweeter in it! I was merely pointing out that you are more likely to have a tube failure effect a ribbon(on the speaker) with an OTL then w... 
No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done?
I think(have never tried them myself on maggies) the atma-sphere's would sound great, the only problem I have is that they are OTL's. Which means nothing is between your output tubes and your speaker, and in the maggies case may be dangerous if yo... 
Cable Suggestions for my system?
I suggest strongly you try to arrange a demo on Jena Labs cables, symphony or above may be exactly what you are looking for sonically. I have had great luck with them and countless others experiences have been a mirror image of mine. I've had a fa... 
No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done?
I like Duke's suggestion for the Wolcott's- but then again I like Dike because he's a really cool guy :) Another tube amp that would be able to handle maggies amp punishing capabalities are the VTL amps, anything bigger then a 450 should handle it... 
Where are your maggies??
Fair enough Sean, I just enjoying playing these games- you know how I am, a screw ball through and through :) 
Where are your maggies??
Sean- Shut up! heh heh :^) Its not every day you permission to yell at you.
