Hey Wendell,
Here are some questions that I have had about the maggies and magnepan:
1. On your site under FAQ, you mention that one should buy as much "resolution" as you can afford regardless of room size. But I have heard bigger maggies in the same room as smaller ones and it sure did seem that they were too big. The site is pretty vague about how to treat too much bass. How does one do it?
2. I have modded the crossovers on my mmgs and dramatically improved the resolution so much so that a 1.6 owner who heard them was upset because he thought my mmgs sounded better than his 1.6s. In relation to the first question, why wouldn't I just buy a smaller maggies and address the crossover issues?
3. Where are the 1.6s with a true ribbon tweeter? Word on the street is that that is what Steve has at home.
4. Why was the 10 series discontinued? And the 2.6s?
5. Isn't the series crossover as was used in the smgs the best crossover for all quasi ribbon mags?
6. Why aren't magnepans set up for active biamping like the Newform Research models are? I had to do a lot of work to get my mmgs ready for that:
7. Any plans for active maggies. I could see a market I think for music lovers that just want to get rid of the clutter and with the digital amps being so small these days...
8. Many inmates have added RF chokes to their maggie drivers. These have helped significantly to reduce harshness. Al Sekela has been saying that maggies make great radio antennas and has advocated using the chokes. He is dead on. Having heard their effects, I could never take them out, and it is a big shame that as easy as it is to add one many people wont do it. And, with all the wireless networks and the enlightened audiophiles moving to computer based playback this could really hurt maggies rep.
9. Can you bring back the old promo called the "Deal you cant refuse?" where you get dough if you sell 3 pairs of maggies to friends in one year? That program rocked.
