RE: Adding a tweeter to MMG

Posted by JBen on February 19, 2017 at 11:20:46:
If that was our dealer in Boca, I'd be surprised that they called you to audition the MMG. Most likely, they would have been hoping to steer you up to a higher model. This attempt would be fine, if an honest portrayal of the MMG is first made.

The problem is that a NEW set of Maggies, all models but more so MMG's, will sound awful no matter what amp. As they approach the 200th hour of playback mark, the full break-in comes into effect, revealing a fuller range of beauty.

Again, if Boca, their largest room is better for Maggies, when on the wall to the east, unless they've changed something lately. Not that MMG's or even 1.7's would get there easily. Perhaps if you needed to audition it with a monster amp, LOL.

Dealers do face challenges in trying to be fair to speakers like these. It's so much easy to bundle up a few $000's in a dynamic demon's wrap.
