It would be the bees knees if you could dig up a review of the 2.5 or 2.6!

Nothing review-wise that would be worth posting on the 2.5 or 2.6s, I'm afraid.  There's just lots of forum and blog chatter.

This.

Alas. I have been enjoying my 2.5R pair for five years now, and I guess I am the third owner, so I don't even have that retro ad or manual you show...

A new Tri Center review is out for those with a Bryston processor.  They're actually using 5 speakers with this one which should give you that Phil Spector Wall of Sound.

Hi All - I'm supposed to introduce myself.  My name is Scott and I live in Southern California.  I am a avid Maggie fan and I have a pair of 1.7's and a pair of 1.6QR's.  I repackaged one of my 1.6QR's and turned it sideways as a center channel.  I drive them with an Emotiva XPS-2 amp.  This is a serious wall of sound.  I use Roon to source my music.  Nice to be here.

Hi, I'm Chip and also an avid Maggie lover. I started with LRS speakers and moved up to 1.7i a year ago.

I'm a DIYer, having discovered the wonderful world of Nelson Pass First Watt clones. I've built 4 so far plus the BA-3 pre.

I've also built the ANK DAC 5.1 and El34 Integrated amp.

Retired and reside in Tucson, AZ.
