That is one of the reasons I ultimately gave up on Maggies (dynamic compression and bass extension being others)
Bought the Gallo Ref III's and haven't looked back since!

MMGs flat with Complex Music
System sounds absolutely fantastic (very smooth, great soundstage, very detailed, and all the other good words reviewers use) with vocals and other non-complex music (like a trio or a small group). However, with a symphony orchestra, it just sounds flat. Almost like it is a different system. Don’t see how the electronics could be an issue: Naim CD5, Conrad Johnson PV12 tube pre, Conrad Johnson MF2500 (250 wpc, rms, both channels driven). Anybody have a similar experience? Am I asking too much from the MMGs? I really like the Maggie sound. Do I need to upgrade to bigger Maggies? Which ones?

Temporarily bring them out 54 inches into the room. The guys on the [URL=http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/MUG/bbs.html]MUG Users Group on Audio Asylum[/URL] seem to suggest that is the distance where they snap into place. If it doesn't help, you can always move them back. The speakers are pretty light. |
Try more clean power. 250 wpc is not all that much for Maggies. Better yet, have them gunned. You'll gain 6 db of efficiency witn the new crossover. It's not a cheap process, but it's sooo worth it. I had my 12s done last year, they came back looking awesome and sounding even better! http://www.indiespinzone.com/magnestand.html |
