Description

For the enjoyment of music.  Lot's of changes over the years.  I typically won't buy something unless I can listen to it in my system.   Spending a lot of time recently searching out well recorded and interesting music via hi res downloads.   I have a really nice vinyl collection mostly Jazz and pop.  Digital I'm filling out my classical titles and more modern recordings.  Jan '16

Jfrech... thanks for the response and YES. I really do need to buy her something nice.

I arrived at Maxx 3's by upgrading my 2's.

I got the 2's because she let me sell her car. Of course it was an extra vehicle but never the less she was incredible to allow me to chase my audio nirvana.

Happy listening!

Hiya Jfrech! Nice system indeed! I too just received my Maxx 3's and have to concur that it's a huge step up from the 2's. My question is... I notice that your Maxx's are closer to the front wall than mine. I must have 3 to 4 feet between the wall and the speakers. Is it just a camera angle thing? If not can you explain why the dealer may have set them up this way? My dealer said they had to be further into the room which of course alarmed the wife... encroaching into our living space.... Thanks in advance!
