Ian, I am with Graham. I can't believe you lugged those 601's in the house by yourself. Those are really heavy. It won't be long and you will be able to convalesce on the couch listening to your new audio system. It should be out of this world!

PS, I agree on your finish choice of dark cherry and black grills.
Many thanks Mike, yes, not actually sure how I got here either, kept a bit quiet in case the heavens realised how happy I was going to become and threw a spanner in the works.

The 3.7s are extraordinary, I would have held onto mine as well except a sacrifice did need to be made ... they will always be a watershed moment for me in enjoying music.

But if the 3.7s are an amazing giant cinema set-up with eery lifelike musical pictures to fall into then the 20.7s are like floating in Imax... It's like being drunk when you haven't had a drink. They will be the heart of my system for a long long good time to come.

I am fascinated with where Ian is going with his system... what's that much bigger than Imax? wow, just unbelievably good... Ian is going to take a Maggie set-up to a different level again.

Graham

Graham, aside from your speakers, I love all the wood in your room. It looks great. Congratulations!

Ray - they must be rolling out now which is a bit of a positive sign.

Gary - thanks kindly, yes much wood is always good, the room is sounding warm and resonant... I open the ports at either end and I get the music is out in the garden as well.

and thanks Jerome - I quoted the outward signs of your considerable happiness for the WP8's when negotiating the upgrade at home, your happiness is a great argument for making big speaker decisions with confidence... my dealer also says thankyou... they sound pretty good as well...

cheers
Graham

Graham,

I am honored. And very happy to know that we share the same JOY with our systems.
I always loved panels and had to stop listening to them because of a rearrangement in my home.
My Final are too tall for my main room and cannot fit elsewhere in the house.
Listening to very large full range panels is a very special experience.

Graham, congrats to you too with the new speakers. I bet the tooth fairy would go all right in a tutu too.

Thanks Kev

I am certainly looking forward to some serious music when it all comes together.

I note that you and Graham are both from Down-Under!
Are there many Aussies in AA? I have noted a few Kiwis also.

Best, Ian

Thanks Kev, if you ever get bored with your new electronics you are more than welcome to chuck them on the 20.7s I feel you're up there in the valley brewing up something a bit special at the moment.

Jerome - if you ever move then panels would make a wonderful counterpoint to your Wilsons - best of all worlds then with panels in one room and puppies in another If I could I would certainly pack them up and bring them across to Paris so you could have a listen.

Ian, I think we lost contact with the other two new 20.7 owners over here... they are probably still sitting stuck in front of their speakers with a shocked look on their faces... I can't wait to hear your thoughts when you first fire the Maggies up.

best wishes with it
Graham
