New guy here! Hello everyone. I am a long time maggie guy having gone through several models in the maggie line (1.6 & 3.6). The maggies are great speakers, but like every speaker, they have their pros and cons.
I recently picked up a pair of Ascents from a local Audiogoner. These have been upgraded with the "i" woofers. I must say they have a great bottom end when blended with my ML Depth sub that I had with my maggies. Right now I am trying to make a decision on what to do with my 3.6 maggies. One of the maggies is having a delamination issue causing a fuzzy sound at certain frequencies.
I originally bought the Ascents to hold me over until I get the maggies fixed, and then possibly sell the MLs or move them upstairs into my 6.1 HT. BTW, I have 2 systems, a 2 channel music only and the HT.
But the longer I listen to the Ascents, the better I like them. They are close matches with the 3.6's with better dynamics and slam, but maybe just not as good at the very top end. But I would have no problem living with these speakers.
Nice site you guys have here!!
