Noticing vocals are sounding harsh and grainy on the Maggie's on both lps and CD's, music sounds great. Using a parasound 2.1 integrated. Currently have resistors installed on speakers but same harshness on vocals without.
Talked to Wendell yesterday he suggested trying 2ohm resistors in the tweeters and maybe som diffusion. If anyone in the Boston Ma southern NH or RI area has the same speakers and wants to do some mutual listening let me know.
I have owned Maggies 3.5Rs and Parasound 2.1. I finally got rid of the Maggies for similar reasons as you, replaced them Emerald Physics KC IIs, an absolute bargain, I also upgraded to Parasound Halo P 5, which has a lot more more balls than the 2.1
Purchased 1.5 and 2.0 resistors fron Magnepan arrived but when installed take all the life out of my listening. Gone is all the high end magic . I'll go back to just jumpers maybe try a different amp or more diffusion .
