Magnepan 12

congrats Michael, great choice... Maggies are the speakers that love you back.

PS Don't worry, they aren't at all addictive... I just went and had a listen to a pair of 1.7s less than 18 months ago... ooops.

Hey Michael,

Another congratulations! I always read about Maggie's but never had a chance to listen to them. I started with the 1.7's then after about a year and a half jumped to the 3.7's. Of course it was the guys on this forum that pushed me over the edge. . You have put together one excellent system. Enjoy those new Maggie's and keep us updated on their progress.

~Mike

Ive only had the Maggie 12's for 2 days now and have played them almost no-stop and i can already hear them opening up more......these are the most inefficient speakers i have ever owned 4 Ohms/86db's...........i have them hooked up to the 4 ohm taps and the 601's ...man oh man can easily pump so much power into these speakers......it makes me love my 601's even more ....such brutes,but with finesse .....

I have a newbee question and I hope this is not considered to be a hijack of your thread. These Maggies seem great but from what I read they are best for mid-range and a little less so for the bass. I am considering getting a mc275vi just for its ability to give a better bass. Would the Maggie be able to show the better bass the VI offers?

The Magnapans have nice bass, just not the driving type bass that some music requires. I run my MGIIIa's down to 48HZ then run a pair of NHT W2 Subs for the very bottom, and can play any type of music with amazing results. For Vocals, acoustic, and chamber music I run the Maggies full range and turn off the subs.
Regards,
Jim
