Not a plug on the brand, just a lil suprised.Although i'm not a regular on this part of AA in terms of writing, I do my share of reading (i'm usually on the Maggie site, but I try to get around).
That said...I just got off the phone w/ Pierre from Mapleshade. This is the second time in a week that we've talked for about 1 1/2 hrs. I'd love to say he's hookin' me up w/ a great deal or something, but basically it's just been talk about music, gear, cables, speakers,recording(i'm a composer myself), platforms etc...
To my surprise he actually told me NOT to get 2 sets of their 'clearview double golden Helix Plus mk2's', just one, and that I'd essentially be wasting my money to bi-wire these speaker cables w/ my Maggie 3.6's (arriving next week). I only know of one other company that has told me to go the lesser route when I would have easily been ready to pay more.
Granted, I don't know what they sound like yet, and I'm a bit on the skeptical side to say the least, but whether I like them or not I can say that he's given me some great advise, a good deal of it having nothing to do w/ their products.
Now, if the cables and outlets can live up to the hype (or even come close) I'll be a happy customer/listener. If not I'll return everything (30 money back, less the shipping charges).
For those interested or that have mapleshade cables or IC's, let me know (I'd love to hear opinions both positive and negative), I'll be posting my experience in a few weeks using both my 1.6's and my new 3.6's.
