Swapped the baby Maggie’s in this evening

Three cheers for the li'l Maggies (magipets?)!  I have the LRS and the LRS+ on different systems. By all meand get the serious crossovers from GRS labs. For both. Magnepan uses less than ideal parts in their crossovers and ferrous metals in the hardware. The difference will amaze you. I replaced the Linkwitz LX 521-4 with the modified LRS+ and sacrificed dynamics for detail and lifelike sound on acoustic instruments and vocals. HUGE difference in cost! Enjoy the music!

I definitely don’t change out speakers every three-four months.  I’d probably be in jail if I tried. 😁 

Although I have had probably a dozen or so speakers in the fifty plus years I’ve been into hifi and still have four pairs hanging around.

@curiousjim ...got 7 pairs and growing....my own version of the Deads’ Wall of Sound....

Ever tried to run room eq L & R separately for all that?

Don’t...*LOL*  You start hearing ’funny music’ in the pink noise...;)

"...swapping baby Maggie's...."   Must be that eating babies in Dem pizza parlors thing that was about awhile ago.....

God may have mercy on you....but we won't...*LOL*

10/10 thread. Two thumbs up. Would read again. 

I think the OP just won the internet.....

I use Maggie 1.7i s with diy modded stands, upgraded XO caps, coils, wire.

As OP indicated, they sound amazing with accoustic, female voices, most jazz unless it gets brassy, electronic, and other high quality recordings. They are picky with harder rock. Most of my old well kept 1970s, 80s albums dont sound great. I think theyre just lower quality recordings. Alot of them are very thin vinyl. 

The only other speakers I have are Monitor Audio Silvers which are fine in my low budget tv sound system but they are duds compared to the Maggies.

Bottom line, the Maggies stay in place and I enjoy them for what they can do.
