Thanks Ozzy62, I "REALLY" wish I could move them to a dedicated room and make the proper placement away from the walls but I have the wife factor to deal with so I am stuck. I have heard what the big maggie can do in other systems in the right room and placement but for right now I am limited to where they sit. Maybe in the future I can get my own "play" room in the house...Thanks for the advise...You have a very nice system also! How do you like the luminious speaker cables? I have never heard of them before.
System edited: Made changes to the speaker cables now with Nordost Blue heaven II bi-wire and upgraded the CD player to Proceed PCD 2. A major step forward in sound clarity and sounstaging.
Thanks Ken for your words of wisdom. I would like to buy a PLC and you have pointed me in the right direction. As for the VK2's is there a web site to view these babies? Thanks again for your advice....
To answer your question(Kehut and Sgr) about if I have a current line conditoner with my system? No, but I am hoping in the future to purchase one. I have no idea what I am looking for. Do you or anyone have any good brands or models which are good?
Hello again, I had a error in posting my system. I will correct it before the next posting. I currently have the 2.6 Maggies and loooking to move up to the 3.5 for more bass extension. The 2.6 are very accurate(soundstage)but bass is very light. I also have a pair of IIB Maggies(non-working in my attic)the bass was much better than the 2.6 but a smaller soundstage. The Mit speaker cables made a big difference in imaging over an older pair of Monster M1's. The instruments are more defined and tend to hang in the air. I am a very BIG fan of MIT products as they offer alot of performance for reasonable amount of money "IF" you can find them used! I have never heard of the VonSchweikert. are they Cones? or panels?
