PSK, I have been there also. My quest for a good two channel system started in my 20s as soon as I started earning enough money. 35 years later I finally found the Magnepans. Sure, I thought I was close at times with box speakers, I remember some smiles, and a momentary halt to the obsessive tweaks but I was never satisfied.
Everything changed when I purchased a set of used 3.6s which I had Magnepan refurbish.
A lot of work went into my present system with patient guidance from members of this site and especially emailtim. I am lucky to have a good dedicated room. I can do whatever I want in there. I had to learn how to use REW, rePhase to generate filters, I added two subs, biamped with an electronic crossover, treated rom with diffusers and absorbers, etc...-
No more tweaking for me as of a month ago. It took 1 year from the time I purchased the speakers. Now I have ear to ear smiles and tears of joy when I get to enjoy albums which changed my life early on.

Shumi,
Thanks for sharing your path of development. Your set up is simply mouthwatering and the attention to detail amazing. Was trying to figure out the amplification you are using. I am quite happy with what I have, but monoblocks someday maybe, so just curious.
Once again great to see your set up.
PSK
Shumi-
What happened to the socks on your Maggie's are they off intentionally?
Just wondering - glad to hear you're enjoying the sound.

Monoblocks are Bryston 7BSTs. Kept the socks off after I sent the frames to be refurbished by Magnepan. Gives me a chance to monitor for wrinkles, delamination, etc... Plus I think they may sound better that way, but not sure. Magnepan development lab keeps theirs with socks off.
