In Reply to: Modified Maggie 3.6 vs. stock 3.7 posted by dmisra2058 on March 19, 2012 at 13:17:03:
OK - how would a pair of moderately modded 3.6 (using active x-over for biamping and Mye stands) sound in comparison to a stock 3.7?
Providing the 2-way active XO was a good sounding - and flexible - one, so you could try different slopes & roll-off points, I would suggest the result would be on a par with a stock 3.7.
But if you went to the next step - replacing the stock MDF frame of the 3.6s with a hardwood frame - I would say the modded, 2-way active 3.6 would be better.
And if you then rebuilt the internal mid/ribbon XO on the 3.6 with the sorts of components that Barry did ... it would be streets ahead of a stock 3.7.
Good luck,
Andy
