It's all good. I had a pair of 2.5r's that sounded really good to me, then I listened to the 3a's, sounded even better. I then went to listen to several speakers, ML, 3.6. etc. While I concidered that my 3a's sounded almost as good that the 3.6's, they did sound much better than the ML's. So it's a good thing that we don't live closer, because you'd have to prove that to me. So in the mean time, I'll just have to take your word that you think SMGA's could ever sound as good as the 3a's.

I once owned the MG12, the 1.6 and the 3.6s. I also had the fortunate opportunity to hear Gunn's modded SMGAs. I won't march into a flame war as to which sounds better since "better" depends so much on individual subjective tastes. I will say, however, that if (or is that "when") I return to Maggies, out of all the Maggies listed my first choice would be Gunn's modded SMGs. They are that good! The modded SMGA was the most musical, most engaging, most toe tapping of the Maggies I've heard (the 20.1s excluded). My 3.6s just did not have the integration and the reach out and grab you involvement that Gunn's SMGs have. Gunn's handiwork on these speakers is truly enchanting. I wish I had time to say more, but it 'tis a busy season. Anyone is free to email me privately if you want more information on my listening experience of Peter Gunn's work. I have no affiliation or connection to Mr. Gunn's business other than our association through the Asylum and his gracious invitation which allowed me to hear his wonderful system.

  At the risk of asking to much personal info, what state are you guys in?

    I live in eastern PA, Hartwerger lives in Maryland.
    And I hope you are close enough for an audition. I'll convert you faster than the Pope :^ )
    There is an over riding belief with a lot of things (especially where men are concerned) that bigger somehow must translate into better. In this case it absolutely does not. Different certainly, and therefore taste is the final arbiter, but not better. However it has been my experience, as well as everyone so far who has heard my mod, that this is the sound they want from a loudspeaker. You are welcome to come hear them if you are close enough for the trip. Just email me directly to discuss it.

      Well Mr Gunn, I may just have to take you up on that. I'm currently in the NYc area, not too far away.

        I'm only 90 miles away then, almost a straight shot down 78.
        By all means come. Maybe we can schedule a date with hartwerger as well and have a party. I'm sure he'd want to be there.
        Now is not good due to the holidays, but once january comes just let me know. Are you a registered inmate? If not, do so and you can email me and we can discuss this off line.
