Reliving the good ole days

SLOCOOKN

I finally sold my Adcom. I still have not got my pre back from B&K so I took the Adcom over to a friends house to make sure it still preformed. He has a nice set of B&W's. We listened with delight. He has a Dennon set up. So the external power was exciting. I then realized that I had let him borrow a pair of Maggies (Mg2's I belive) I have had for 13 years. I had not listened to them in a long time as I had no real power source. He realized that his reciever would not handle the ohm load so they sat in his garage for 2 more months. After realizing that they were there I said Lets hook em' up.

I should be put in jail for condeming these to 8 years of silence. They are not the greatest speaker of all time. However, With the right music the sound is awsome. I was over there for 4 hours with a smile on my face the whole time.

Just my experience,

Sounds like a nice time. Can I borrow those 3.1's for a few years?

SLOCOOKN

Sure! if you upgrade crossovers, new binding posts, replace all woofers and send 800.00 deposit....( JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!)..Would like to upgrade crossovers though!

I'm right now waiting for the UPS truck with all the components for mine; will post some pictures/details once I'm done.

The drivers should last a lifetime....you having problems with yours??

SLOCOOKN

Yeah I saw that post that is why I said that. I am excited for you. I can't wait to see the process. As i would likely solder my way to china this is a task I would leave to the DIY's.

You say that because you have not tried...if you can use a screwdriver, you can rebuild a crossover

Here's the thread from my first one....these had a lot of additional components, plus it was tough to get the crossover back in because of its placement; for the 3.1's, the crossover is easily removed, and only has one resistor and 4 caps per crossover; piece of cake
