Enjoy! This is also a good period of time to try positioning the Maggies at various points. Even minute differences could make a difference for better or worse. By and large, the behaviors at any specific spot will remain the same along years, unless the room or the Maggies' surroundings change much. So, it is time well spent.
Have fun!
One last thing, I took off the tan covers and was wondering if they can be washed or would they fall apart? I was thinking of getting the black covers but the tan is starting to grow on me.
Wow, great timing. I was just passing by while munching on a quick (veggie) burger! :-(
I think they were still using burlap on some Maggies in those days? If so, I would not wash them, just vac VERY carefully. In theory, you could also try dry cleaning...others here may know.
Now, my not-much-younger, 1999-manufactured, MMGs came with a stretch cloth that did resist a mild wash well. Ironically, I was not going to put them back on anyway. But I still tried it back in 2010, and they stretched just fine, and did stay fully black after the wash.
Oh, well! If a nice wash does not work, hmmm....you wanted to order "black" from Magnepan anyway, right? LOL!
While new ones arrive, you can enjoy the Maggies naked. They can put on a more seductive show in this manner, really : - ))
LOLOL!! That would be interesting. I thought it was burlap but I wasn't sure. I cant believe burlap on an expensive speaker like these. Crazy. I guess I am just going to have to order the new black covers from mag. The think is the cover have an smell of oldness to them that I need to get rid of. What do you think, black or this tan again?
Your question about "tan or black" comes just after I spoke to a friend on the phone. He called to tell me that we will have Orff's Carmina Burana performed in Miami next week...and hardly any seats left but the most expensive ones!
So, I am laughing because, on my first date with my wife decades ago, I took her to a performance of Carmina Burana. Being her first time in this concert hall, she asked how they had chosen the colors for the interior walls.
I replied (in a very serious tone) that it was chosen for acoustical reasons. "Some colors reflect sound in better ways than others." I've paid a price for that smart-ass comment ever since.
Let's leave it to your better judgement, LOL!
That is great. I tell you at first I didn't like the tan but now they have grown on me but all my other speakers (ML,B&W) are all black. This was a no brainer until I listened to them and always looking at them. Damn!!!!
