If she told me "this is the proper relative placement for these speakers" (presumably in a soft eastern european accent), I wouldn't even think about arguing with her. I would have other thoughts though

Congrats Sperandeo on your new panels

I've owned a number of different MP models over the years (still have a pair of MG12s around here somewhere) and as othters have said... break-in can be a roller-coaster, but so very worth it.

As an aside, I've since shifted over to Martin Logan (CLX), but will always have a special place in my heart'n'soul for Maggies.

Cheers

Nope. My dealer misinformed me that they had the 3.7's with the color I wanted in stock, and I decided to sell my 3.6's only to find out later of their mistake. So I have to wait.

Klao,

That is a real bummer. Do you have any other speakers so you can at least play your music? It has taken about 5 weeks for my 3.7's to be built. I pick them up this Saturday. It's about an hour and 45 minute drive one way to get them which isn't to bad. I have some pipe organ music coming that Julian here on AA recommended. I hope to speed up the break in process. Or at least help it.

Indeed, but that dealer already sent me a pair of French-made Triangle speakers to use.

My dealer is driving 3.7s with the ARC combo of Ref 5SE and Ref 75. I was very impressed by the sound and how little power they appeared to be using as I watched the meters on the Ref 75 dance. I would be surprised if your ARC didn't drive 1.7s comfortably in a mid sized room. Just my two cents.
