Default Another convert!

Welcome to the brotherhood of the flat. I've been listening through Maggies since 1983. I can never go back to a box. Besides boxes are for shipping not making serious music IMHO.

A warning... Maggies are addictive, and it is sometimes hard to stop. Find a friend to act as your conscience when you get the urge to upgrade to 1.7s, then 3.7s...

Randy.. That's a good question~!. I haven't decide yet but will mate with both systems and see which I like better.
