Something wrong with my 2.7QRs


Hey All,

I'm in a pickle. I have a pair of Maggie 2.7QRs. They've been in my TV room at my vacation home for years -- never turned up too loud and never really "listened to".

I brought them home and set them up, and something sounds wrong. The top end is kinda dull. Not dead, but clearly not right, and not anything close to the "too bright" sound that people speak of with Maggies. The base and midrange seem to be okay.

I've tried running them with two nice integrated amps, 1 tube and one SS, and 2 different sources, one analog and one digi, and still the same result.

Am I doomed? Is there a simple fix that anyone knows of? TIA.

I don't know if this applies to the 2.7's, but Magnepan offers resistors that you install in the binding posts. They do this to roll off the high in systems where they sound to bright. Check the speaker and if you see the resistors, remove them.
