[AlanZ]

Hey guys! Just checking in....have finally been having some visitors over to experience the rig, and the feedback has been glowing! Don't really have my eyes and any upgrades right now, as I'm just enjoying the fruits of my labor.

BTW, 6, diggin the new look of the website!

Hey people, got around $3500. to spend on a home theater system w/avr...looking at some mts-01, any suggestions? 24ft.x19ft room in basement. 8ft suspended ceilings, also getting a 55" plus flat screen tv. Got ps3, wii, dvr directv. HELP, don't want to get something expensive with low quality....

felito,

You would do better posting a new thread with your questions. This thread was and is about maggies and their owners. Sorry!!

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 the past six months. I managed to shatter my left knee leaving me permanently disabled and with enough titanium in my leg to build a child's bicycle. /img/vbsmilies/htf/rolleyes.gif">
On the upside, I lost about one hundred and sixty pounds of useless fat by divorcing my wife.

Dean:

I am sorry to hear about your knee and I have gone through that type of weight loss myself a couple of times. My problem is I keep putting it back on.

I am also sad to hear that you are selling your maggies.

You will have to let those of us that don't have our own maggies and those that do what you think of the new speakers in comparison.

Howdy Packy!!

 

[Parker Clack]

Howdee Alan!!

We have a new guy to the forum Alex that is thinking of maggies for his HT. I am going to send him to this thread for you all to enlighten him.

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 color. I also went all out and got the ribbon tweeter upgrade. As soon as they all arrive, I'll be putting all of my Maggies and Mye stands up for sale. Although I'm sorry to have to sell the Maggies, I'm looking forward to moving to a smaller and more manageable place. And I'm really enjoying bachelorhood.

Dean:

Lots of pics are a must of the new setup.

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

[AlanZ]

Anyone out there?

Dean, sorry to hear about your knee, brother...how you holdin' up?

I'm sure you'll get tons of enjoyment out of those Salks

Meanwhile, I just moved into a new apartment that I love, and I have my Maggies singin!

Anyone still checking in?

It looks like our little group has not been reading this post for a while. I wanted to share a sad event in my life. I lost the love of my life, my soul mate, my wife of 36 years to lung cancer about 6 months ago. Needless to say, things like HT systems and such lose much of their importance. I hope you all are doing well. We had a great post going for a long time!!

Here is a picture on our 30th anniversary trip to San Francisco back in 2006!!

I think of this classic thread often.

And was happy to see it had recently been bumped up by one of the Alans. I was sure that I was subscribed to the thread...but, apparently, was NOT. I just happened to stumble upon it when giving a glance to the overall Speakers forum.

Subscribed now.

I really miss seeing Parker around the forum on a regular basis...but I also miss reading all the posts here on a subject I never really fully understood but, nevertheless, made me feel like I was really missing out!

Mike - I have been discussing getting a couple of pair of Maggies here for a review. This thread looks like the perfect spot, if you and the other mods are ok with it.
