Oh no, no, no! I don't hate the Maggies on any level whatsoever!
What it boiled down to was that the 1.6's were ever so slightly tizzy on the very high end occasionally. The (IIRC) next level up cleaned this up.
The 1.6 were such a bargain at $1475 at the time, compared to $3500 or so for the 3.2's. With a lot of cable experimentation I tamed the speakers to where I can just let it go.
As I understand, they finally replaced the 1.6 with the 1.7 and it has cleaned up the top end. I haven't heard them as there are no high end stores in the Birmingham area anymore. I don't want to hear them. I'm extremely happy with what I have now.
Once you hear what planar speakers can do, there is no going back to the coloration of a wooden cabinet speaker.
It's a good thing I don't own cats. Otherwise I would have the world's largest scratching post! Seriously, the open sound is - incredible. My limited vocabulary just cannot describe it. That's why I'm here, to see if it can be reproduced in a headphone.
I intend on having a very Merry Christmas to myself........ if I can wait that long.
