I KNOW you'll enjoy them for years to come. My son a Maggie owner as well, also uses the Bryston.
I on the other hand use a Levinson 333 for my 3.6, a 332 for my 3.5's which where moved to the rear about a yr ago and a 331 for front and rear CC3's.
I also use 2 Velodyne DD12s as left and right front subs.
Like you, the crossovers are set at 40 6db slope for the 3.6 & 3.5's.
You see for me there is no such thing as trading in a Maggie, you just move it somewhere else!
Before I got the 3.6's, I used the 3.5's in the front and MG IIc's I purchesed in 1986 (I started looking at Maggies in 1976) for the rears. Since I won't part with any Maggie, the MG IIc's are now part of a two channel set-up in another room. Actually, back in the room where this all began, they've come full circle!
I hope you're as happy with yours for as many years as I've been with mine. Good luck.

"No musical talent whatsoever"? Of course you do, you picked out 3.6's didn't you :-)

Nice room. Looks like you have them set up perfect. You already know it was worth the time and passion and when you cost average it over the years of enjoyment you will get, it may actually be pretty cheap. I've had my 3.6's for 8 yrs now. Enjoy.

Linnie -- nope, sorry. I'm Nils, the software engineer, who lives in the beautiful city of Santa Cruz, CA. No musical talent whatsoever. ;)

Are you Nils, the jazz guitarist?

Nils,
Beautiful system and great looking room. I've had 3.6r's for about 5 years or so and consider them the one component I will not change. I did go for the mye stands upgrade about a year ago and found them to be a very worthwhile upgrade. I had a rel subwoofer way back but found that I wasn't lacking for bass and sold it. Enjoy the sweet spot and the many hours of listening to what is obviously a great system.

Hi Teajay,

Thank you for your kind words! Because the subwoofer is crossed over so low, it's really only there when it needs to be. I took a lot of care setting up the phase adjustment and placement when I first got it, but dropped the crossover from ~60hz with my MMGs to ~40hz with the 3.6Rs. I've listened to music both without and with, and having extension to 20hz really adds a sense of ambience and weight. And when I say seamless blending, I really mean it. My audiophile friend had to ask whether or not the subwoofer was on. :)

Nils, I bet your system sounds wonderful, the 3.6's are great speakers. I just helped a friend put together a very good system with highly regarded box enclosure speakers and still think it lacks the di-polar planer magic that makes a more "real" sounding illusion in a listening room.

One question, do you find you need the subwoofer with the 3.6's on most music? Have Fun!
