Magnepan Tympani IVa would be my guess.

Those were the first pair of Maggies that I ever heard and they got me, hook, line and sinker!

Well that's a lovely way to decorate a room. I'd like to have this kind of a 'wall'  :wink:

They need a little tlc.

I found them on US Audiomart a couple of months ago.

WOW is right!
Glad to see you're keeping out of mischief (or maybe getting into it)?

I think I bit off more than I can chew this time.  The min-buy on the wire was 3,000 meters so I went off the deep end.

Nothing succeeds like excess.
You can do it!

Wow, Jazzman53!  Building your own all-electrostatic home theater system?  Looks amazing, keep us posted.

I'm soon to be the owner of a pair of Maggie 3.6r in a week or so.  Pics to follow.

Actually; only one pair is for me.  The other three pairs are for three of my Carver-fest buddies who've been begging me for years to build them.  It's a huge amount of work-- I won't be doing this again. 

Since I was building four pairs, I had some PC boards made up for the HV bias supplies rather than using prototype perf boards.  Below is the HV bias supply and step-up transformers under a plexiglass cover; which sits below the woofer at the rear of each speaker:

Very cool!  You might think about making a run of your HV boards and sell them to DIYer's.  Just for fun.

My (new to me) Magnepan MG-3.6r.



The gentleman that sold them to me also sold me a pair of DIY xo that takes the place of the stock box.  They do in fact sound better.

I've had these 1.7s about a week. They take some getting used to, but liking them so far.

If the 1.7s are new give them a couple of weeks to loosen up.

Here's my .7 setup, with Magna Riser Multi-Riser stands. The void between the shelving units will get a drawer storage cabinet, as soon as I can build one.
