Here they are. They sound as good as they look, too.

Thanks guys! I just got word this morning from Jim Salk that my speakers and subs should be shipping tomorrow. I am very much looking forward to getting them set up and giving them a listen. The speakers and subs were all made to match, the cabinets are bamboo and dyed sort of a Rosewood red...

Resurrecting this thread for an update and to see if any Allans/Allens/Alans are still around. You heard it here first, I am selling all of my Maggies -- 3.6Rs, 1.6QRs, and CC3 -- and downsizing. I will be heartbroken to see them go, but I don't have a choice. A great deal has transpired over...

It's good to hear from you and to read that Magnepan treated you well. I may have to do the same myself in a few months. How much did the whole project cost you including the shipping? I'm currently waiting on parts to build another amp, so that I can bi-amp my front 3.6s to go with an active...

Very nice. I've been thinking of doing the same and bi-amping. How much is the XM44 setting you back (if you don't mind me being nosy)?

Congrats on the new speakers, Z. I'm thinking of picking up another pair myself to make a 4.2 setup for HT and MC music. Howdy 6! All the best to you all for the new year!

Anyone home? Happy turkey day to all you Alans.

It'll be a while before the 20.1s. The first thing on my list, if/when it becomes available, is Magnepan's true ribbon center speaker.

Here's a Maggie update that I thought I would pass along. Last week I sent my CC3 center speaker, which I've owned for about three years now, in to Magnepan to have the fabric redone to match my 3.6s. Over the weekend I got a call from Magnepan telling me that when they removed the fabric they...

I already have outboard amps and the Maggies are a 4 Ohm load, so I'm not all that interested in a receiver. Also, the Integra DTC-9.8 offers the best bang for the buck, IMO. I can't believe how good the thing sounds. Judging from what I've read on the forums, there are a lot of folks with high...

Howdy Alan. My experience with the SVS subwoofer matches yours. It was great with movies, but I found that I didn't like it so much for music. My IB is excellent for both, although I realize that an IB isn't for everyone. Now that Ethan has helped me out with room treatments, my IB, speakers...

I'm not at all familiar with the Meridian, but I did own an SVS sub for a time. I found that it didn't blend with my Maggies very well. Although, room placement, the lack of EQ, or a number of other things could have been factors in that. A number of Maggie owners have had very good luck with...

If memory serves, Audyssey set the CC3 at 100 Hz, the 3.6Rs at 60 Hz, and my 1.6QR surrounds also at 60 Hz. My subwoofer is an infinite baffle, mounted in the ceiling/attic with four eighteen inch Avalanche drivers. It's the only sub I've heard in my room that can keep up with my Maggies. As...

I have a CC3 center that I use with 3.6Rs and I have never tried the Magnepan recommended setup. It seems like a rather convoluted way of doing things to me. Since you'll be going with the DTC-9.8, which I also have, I recommend connecting your speakers and sub in the conventional manner and...

Well, I got lucky and found an Integra DTC 9.8 at a local dealer. I've only had it home for a couple of hours, but so far I'm very impressed. It blows the doors off my old Outlaw Audio 990, which has served me well over the past few years.

Thanks. I've been thinking about making my own jumpers if I can find some pins that will fit. I've also been pondering making some custom crossover boxes to match the cherry trim on the speakers and maybe upgrading the crossover components while I'm at it. But the next project on my list is to...

Yes, I got the book finished quite some time ago and I'm using it in my classes, now that I've gone back to work full time. I haven't seen or heard much from anyone, but I don't get to spend all that much time online anymore.

Supposedly by the end of January. I've been waiting since Oct., but I know of folks who've been waiting since July. Integra hasn't done too well keeping up with demand.

Yes, I've had the UcD400 amps for quite some time. I've put them up against some of the big boys (Ayre, McIntosh, and a few others) and I'll stick with what I have. I don't know all that much about the new hi-res audio formats yet, but I think you're correct. The new formats are output via HDMI...

It's alive! It's alive! New upgrades to report: Did a total remodel of the living room, including tearing out the fireplace which gave me lots more room for my speakers: 3.6R fronts, 1.6QR rears, CC3 front center & rear center I made built-in A/V cabinets in a side wall to house and...

:LOL: I'm old enough to remember 78s.

Me too. I pick up my 3.6s Saturday morning. I got the black & cherry like yours. I need to get some MYE stands for them. Why don't you upgrade to 20.1s and sell me your stands cheap. :D

I thought this thread would never die. I've just been waiting for you guys to shut up, so I can get a word in edgewise. :D Actually, I've gone back to work again full time and I got sidetracked with my car for a while. I'm currently in the process of making a deal on a nice pair of 3.6s and...

You young punks are always so cocky. :D

I like that line of reasoning. I use it myself as often as I can get away with it. :D I noticed in your pic that you've got your 1.6s placed with the tweeters on the inside. What was the idea behind that and what kind of results are you getting in terms of sound?

It looks like you got it straightened out without my help. Good thing too, I don't know squat about the fuse bypass on the 3.6s. :D

Yes, that's Parts Express. It's a small world. Tell your wife that she did a very good job with my DV-79AVI. I've been enjoying mine immensely. :D There's not much else going on around here other than watching A'gon for a pair of 3.6s for sale here in FL. My thinking is that if I can get a used...

I'm still around. For some reason I don't receive email notices that there have been posts made to this thread. I haven't been up to much audio-wise. I upgraded the toroids in my amps and I'm getting ready to order a Velodyne SMS-1, that's about it other than making my own speaker cables. I've...

Lee: That's a very nice room and set-up. I don't want to be an alarmist, but someone stole your walls. :D

Z: Sorry, I don't have any pics. I'm still remodeling and everything is in a state of chaos. The system does sound very good, but I wish I had a dedicated room for this stuff. My living room is very limited in what I can do with it. But I don't have a spare $30k in change tucked away under my...
