I listened to the 3.6s last night for 1.5 hours at (what I thought was) low volume last night. I have ringing in my ears this morning. The truth is, it wasn't low volume. It was smooth and open sounding, and I enjoyed the session, but I found I was missing so much information at this volume, that I would have liked to turn it up.I want a speaker that I can listen to at moderate volumes, and never feel that I need to turn it up. You don't feel like you need to turn up a live performance, or turn up someone speaking right in front of you. Why should I feel that way with my speakers?
Funny, my experience is the exact opposite. Before I got my Maggies, I was always into this 'turn up the volume', which was driving my wife batty. It escalated to the point where I could only get to listen to music if I first send my wife out to do some shopping -- a very expensive hobby indeed:(
All that changed for the better the day I got Maggies. Their presentation is so huge and satisfying that I find it almost threatening at moderately loud levels. Thus I tend to tone it down, much to my wife's delight.
Seems like we may be talking about two different things here, or like we're talking pass each other. Strange...
