Hi folks, this is the second time this has happened to me. First with the 1.6, I thought my fault, I had them setup weird, needed to drive one Maggie very hard to balanced volume at listening position. Sent them into factor for repair, lesson learned (or not!) Sold those for 1.7i. Normal room, normal setup, Mylar is extremely distorted and slaps at low frequencies at modest volumes. When I listen to test tones, like for processor setup/eq, one Maggie produces a noticeably different tone from the other. Amp is B&K Ref 7250. The Maggie's have gotten some time in direct sunlight when I open the curtain. Hot Florida sun. I typically have the preamp set to around -25 and the amp gains set accordingly to a comfortable volume - maybe somehow I was causing clipping or the amp is defective? I'm considering sending the 1.7is in for repair, but I don't want this to happen again. Has anyone experience this issue? Any advice? |

Agree with the other two posters. The mounting scheme is non-optimal. Dave. |
