Maggies MGII's - Questions, thoughts


Hello All;

I've been caught up in the "must upgrade" fever for the last few weeks, mostly from just clicking back on this site after a few years of staying away.
I've had a few different components over the past few years, but the core has been the same for about 12-13 years, my MGII's, matching serial number's 104406. Factory referbed about 10 years ago, amongst the last to be done in Mn.
My question is this; I love the sound of them still. I have Quad 12L's, beautiful that I bought here, but I have my maggies back on. Is this my lack of "ear"? Am I just so stuck that I'm not hearing the beauty of whats new? I have a Jolida 102b, pro-ject rm4, ATF5 cart, music hall cd-25, kimber tc4. What should I audition/buy? or just let it play?

If I were you I would look at up dating the crossover with better parts. The Maggie will transform in all areas. You find greater resolution, width and much deeper bass.

I have had many magnepans over the years and each one including the 3.6r was another speaker when the crossover was done. It is almost a crime to not do it.

Try Alpha core copper foil inductors and the best caps you can find. Mundorf silver in oil are great and not too expensive. If the caps get too out of hand try a good cheap cap and bypass it with as good a cap as you can afford. Most of the character will come from the bypass.
