Panels ? what Panels ??
« on: September 23, 2008, 09:36:29 AM »
Imagine the look on your SO's face when you come home with these.
what, they are only blocking the two windows (only two in the room). 
what, ??, 6' is too big ?  come on now hun, be reasonable.

sheer fucking bliss on my part though.  Chances are high that I'll either have to ditch them eventually (WAF) or make a lean-to and move in.
either way...shit is looking good!

digital : SB3 / Oppo 971 > Perpetual Tech P1 digital correction engine > Perpetual tech P3 DAC  >
analog : Music Hall MMF 5.1 > Grahm S Lee special edition phono pre >

Pre: Dared SL2000a with Telefunkin 12au7's and (currently employing) RCA 5au4 rectifier tube.
power: Odyssey Audio Stratos monoblocks ..., not stock.  just got them back.  brand new red-board upgrade, new input/output stage...just shy of the "extreme" edition

Magnepan MG3.3R ribbon tweeter full range planar speakers.

all millspec cable throughout.

Boo-freakin' YA !

I'm in the market for a used pair of speakers and just started looking into maggies/planars in general and seeing these pics is making me get excited   :D

<----can't wait to own a pair!  Would a solid state receiver drive them okay as well?  Just curious as to the differences between tube amps and SS for driving planars.

edit: +T on the new toys!

MUST be able to drive 4ohm load.  Maggies like power, and lots of it.  Im pumping 180wpc into these and they could take more.

My wife was very upfront... no matter how good they sound... no more homemade speakers, no more Maggies or Quads. Or we end up with Bose (yuck)

the ML's are beautiful, dynamic, detailed ...and just plain' f'n cool.  the transparent diaphragm is the shit, and let the light shine through them (as the maggies do not).

you should hear these suckers.  they are the most transparent, detailed speaker i've ever heard.  the bass ..., is so fast that at times I think it lean, other times its right there.  no bloat. 
I heard detail in Jerry's voice listening to an 80' show last night the likes of which i've never heard before.  gave me goosebumps.

I sat Sarah in the "zone" and asked for 30 seconds of her time to listen to them.  I played music she doesnt' like (Mule, DOSE) ...and she sat memorized for 15 minutes.  I think I hooked her.
tonight it will be Brubeck, Bellafonte', Steely Dan...things she likes.  then she'll forget all about the big ugly speakers.
