Great set you got there.
These are better than the 3A but for the bass integration still being off compared to the more recent hybrid speakers from ML
Congrats!!!. Hope they don't blow up your budget.

Thanks everyone. I called the PO on this equipment and he was ready to sell so I got a great price. It wasn't until 8 last night that I could arrange for a helper to get the really heavy Prodigy base units into the house. I still haven't hooked them up because I need to move some other stuff around. Bi amping these will require some RCA "Y" adapters because I will need to split the pre-amp signal into 2 so it will feed both amp channels. The new center channel is 43" long and won't fit in my entertainment furniture at all. And the Scripts are wall mount. Let the fun begin.

Tell us how it goes when you have them setup.
I'm back. Just went thru a busy time with learning to kayak, hiking in the Olympics and all. I haven't done diddly to the Maggies. I still have the MLs connected to the Pioneer and they sound great taking in the ht limitations. I haven't been able to find a good rack or shelf for my Mac and other stuff. The only place to put it is on the low tv shelf and we have 2 dogs so it gets dusty down there. The Mac is really clean so I would like to keep it that way. The big news is I just purchased a vintage Pioneer SF-850 active crossover on eBay which should be here this week. I was watching the site for quite a while and a few good pieces came through. A Luxman tube XO, 2 Pioneer SF-700s, and there's a Pass/ Threshold there now for $1400. There's always Behringers and the other modern pro gear but I wanted something from the good ole days. The goal is to sell most or all the MLs while making a few bucks and keep the Maggies. I was using the lack of an XO as the excuse not to finish the Maggies but that doesn't work now. I better get going on that now. LOL

SF850 That is a wonderful piece - you can do asymmetrical slopes and it has a flat setting too. Ideal piece for your project. Just be sure the power supply electrolytics are in good condition before you use it. It should be sme 30 years old...
So the ML speakers didn't rock your boat? They should outdo the stock 3A easily enough. Just need your Macs setup to power them.
The MLs are fine speakers and I did get the package for a really good price. But it was thousands more than the Maggies will cost even with the new XO. I can afford the MLs but I'm not sure if I want to afford the MLs.
I would like to A/B the 2 sets though just for fun. The powers that be kicked me out of my Maggie work space just this weekend mainly because there was no work happening. I can set up elsewhere but need to move some stuff around.
And I gotta get the Mac setup somewhere, and the cd and the sacd and I would like to get a record player and that XO has to have a home. And might go sailing today on my boat that I sold last month.
Damn, retirement is ......Busy!
