Moving from Magnepan MGIIIA to 3.6

Motor Vibrations
Thanks, Tom. He is going to be sending me another motor and if that doesn't do the trick, he's going to send an entire kit. I'll post the results.RegardsJim

Upgrade Rega P25 to? Basis? VPI? Or?
I second Jsbil's suggestion and throw in a couple more to consider- Teres and Well Tempered. Spacedeck and Teres are probably the most bang for the buck. Let us know what you end up with.RegardsJim 
Magnepan MG 12 v NHT VT 2.4
Hang onto your sub if you are going with the MG12s. And get an active x-o.
