It's a lot of things, actually.

One of the things is that I want my daughter to have my MMG/REL hybrids and the space in which to enjoy them. She also has a large assortment of musical instruments, and forfeiting my room in the house will give those instruments somewhere to be kept (she had two rooms in the house next door). As I mentioned before, the whole scenario is a long, boring story (and whose life is not riddled with them?), but this living arrangement seems best to me, for now. The system changes are simply necessary, as a result of the living arrangement I chose.

It's a choice and I'm prepared to live with it. Will I miss the Maggies? Of course, but that doesn't mean that I won't enjoy listening to music - I know, because I have already been doing so. A different speaker design just means a different suite of strengths and weaknesses. In a way, it's right that things happened when they did - my system was 'there'. Now, the game is reset and the fun can start all over again...although, things are pretty darn good right out of the gate.

  It looks like she has 3.7s, instead. It would have been foolish not to try them in her mini-cave. We were both quite impressed. She also got my Marantz PM-11S1 integrated amp, which has no problem driving the 3.7s. It was nice to listen to them again. I really like them. My daughter loves her new setup, which makes me very happy, indeed.

    Hopefully you also have a standing invite to come listen...

      We're sharing the room, anyway...to some extent. It's still where my clothes are kept. It's her 2nd room. She doesn't 'live' in that room. It's where most of her musical instruments, stereo and TV will be. It isn't ideal, but it's very good. If there's one thing that I've continued to be impressed with about Maggies, it's how many arrangements are not only workable, but downright super. This is a different presentation from the ~Limage, but it's quite engaging.
      
      A little while ago, she told me how impressed she is with the way it makes her Rachmaninoff recordings sound, and I thought she was going to lose it when she put on a Faun tune - that's when I heard the most amazing bass I've ever experienced out of a pair of unaccompanied Maggies. Of course, the other end of the spectrum is where much magic was happening - simply glorious.
      
      Ah, I've created a monster. ;-)
