Hello my fellow audio enthusiast, l`ll be praying for you praying that GOD will turn things around for you in JESUS NAME this I`m doing as I post. GOD is still in the HEALING bussiness. I am 75yrs. old with a mild loss of hearing, Diabetes, high blood pressure, kidneys only oprating at 46% since 2001 when I exercise in which I cut grass I don`t use riding machines I walk the lawns regardless of how large. Here in Fla. grass cutting is all year round an eat properly it all ( the diseases) goes away Prayer and doing my part is the key of staying healthy. The Maggies would be one of the best decisons you`ve ever made in your life time; I`ve own the bigger Maggies for years I`m still listening to my 3.6`s l`ve wanted to move on to the newer Maggies How ever, I`ve been told by owners of the 3.7`s & 3.7i`s they wish they had kept there 3.6`s. If you have the room you can fine a nice pair of 3.6`s for 1800. my friend if you purchase you are in for an unbelivable perfomance of audio music reproduction of excellance 🎵providing your electronics are good performers. I`ve owed a Dyna 70 not enough power for the big maggies, keep in mind if you go with the larger maggies they need power to perform atlease a 400 wpc. power amp. I also use 2 Velodyne HGS 12" subs I don`t believe your HSU sub would be fast enough to keep up with the 3.6`s possible with the 1.7i`s not for sure. Brian at (Sweet Home Audio) would aboslutely know nice guy to talk to not a pressure sales person right? Oh by the way I live in Riverview, Fla just outside of Tampa. OP I also power my Maggies with Pass Labs XP30 Preamp Pass Labs X350 Power amp. l`m now in the process of bi-amping using another Pass Amp the X350.5 along with the X350. a Marchand X44 Xover or an Pass Labs Firt Watt B4 Xover if I can fine one. The Pass Labs. X350.5 I intend to use on the top Highs & Mid range the Pass Labs. X350 on the lower end Bass. Continue to allow Brian to help you make good practical choices to improve your musical journey. Remember GOD is still in the HEALING business. Live right fast and pray🙏 watch him( the LORD)work in your behalf. Best regards,Martin
Replacement for current speakers suggestions
Greetings! I am 64 years old and started the hi fi journey at 19. I am thinking of replacing my current speakers. I have a pair of Von Shweikert VR 2's driven by a Mcintosh MA 250. Analogue sources are a Clearaudio Emotion Red with a Hana EH cartridge, the second deck is a Technics SL-1200 GR with a Clearaudio Maestro Cartridge. My VR 2's sound outstanding with the Mac however, they are sounding clinical these days. I realise that at 64 with all my health issues hearing changes for the worse. Diabetic for 39 years, Cardiac issues, (massive MI in 95, double bypass in 05) and the latest is stage 4 cancer, no remission possible! I like a warm sound that recreates music in great detail without sounding clinical, not sure if that makes sense! Disability does not pay all that well! The days of affording 3k to 5k are done! Looking at some Wharfdale towers, Maggies and possily Monitor Audio. I want to stay abour or below 2k.I will appreciate your opinions!
Thanks, Bogiedr
