Hi Joe,
Yup - I agree - I just find myself leaving the CeeDee player off most of the time. I CAN get into it - it sounds very good but - it ain't analog.
As for selecting gear in a salon - I can't remember the last time I was in one where the sound wasn't raucous. Just terrible.
There is (was?) a local dealer who sold the Maggies and I brought home a pair of the 1.6s sure that I would love 'em. Had original Vandie 2-Cs at the time. Damned if I could get 'em to work in my room. Tried them every which way. In one position everything but the bass was good - in another, ONLY the bass was good.
So - I settled on my current 2-CE Signatures which, believe it or not, share a lot of the planar characteristics. No mistake though, they are just as placement sensitive as the Maggies.
Your system looks great BTW and I am NOT dissing Maggies. I've heard them sound great on many occasions. Just not in my room. Drove the wife nuts moving them around.
Best,
Dave

I went up to $3500 digital front end, with SACD, still analog is better. - jdaniel 10:43:15 12/4/05 ( 0)
