Hello everyone. I'm an ex pacemaker engineering tech who worked for a company that was located about 40 miles straight south of Houston, right on the gulf. I'm 65 and have been interested in audio since hearing my first set of Maggies at Beatty's Stereo in Kansas City around 1980. I am currently refurbing a pair of 3.6R's. This is my fourth set of Maggies. Began with a used set of MG1's, sold them and bought a new set of 1.5's, traded the 1.5's in on a new set of 2.7QR's that I still have. And about a year ago, drove about 4 hours each way down to Dallas and picked up this set of 3.6R's that I'm restoring, and upgrading ALL of the internal crossover components.
I have built a pair of W frame dipole subs a la Sigfried Linkwitz, using four Acoustic Elegance Dipole 12's. Using dsp to set an 8mS delay to the Maggies, this is the best subwoofer match to Maggies I've ever heard. I've bought four of the Dipole 18's to build another set of the subs to high pass around 30 to 32 Hz, thus relieving the 12's of anything below about 32Hz. But I haven't got the cabinets for the 18's built yet. I'm just a working guy, so it took me a long time to save up the money for these expensive drivers.
Meanwhile, during some house remodeling, the midrange of one of my 2.7's quit working. Haven't got a chance to tear into it yet, cause my workspace is completely covered with this tore apart 3.6.
I think I'm going to enjoy being a member of this forum. Looking forward to hearing from you all. Will keep my progress posted for anyone interested.
