Replacing My Maggie 3.6R


Many of you know I have been a Magnepan fan for a long time with my first pair of 2.6's in the 90's.  As I evolved to prefer tube power with these speakers I upgraded to the 3.6R, Manley Neo Classic Amps and Vandersteen 2W Sub.  About two years ago I added stereo Rel's and truly  thought the quest was over.  Over the years I have tried to move on from Magnepan but could never find a box to deliver the soundstage and imaging.   I've listened to Revel, B&W, Focal, KEF, Harbeth among others.  More recently listened to Acora, Joseph Audio, and Magico and many other A listers.  I came close with SF Amati and even closer with Vimberg Mino, with the Mino's just out of my financial reach.  I then attended AXPONA 2024 for the first time and listened too so many I've forgotten, but I did  listened to MBL's and I was sold!

I've been a Maggie fan for 35 years. I've strayed but always returned. I have 3.3'r and dream about 3.6's! Buy 3.7's or x,s

If you love Maggies like I do, pprocter is right.  Buy the 3.7's  Night and day improvement over 3.6's.  

Sounds like you should move/try an open baffle type of speaker to get what your missing. OB's will have all the similar things you like in the Magi's but will add richness, dynamics, slam and tone. Also be much more efficient.
