I have often said the electronics are more important to realistic sound than the speakers…sure the Pendragons will bring more but the elements of really good sound are already there with the Maggie’s.

actually I'd consider that in spite of the electronics
although perhaps you can prove me wrongRon, it IS possible to have great sound on a budget. I've heard multiple modded Thorens 124 setups now, one or two leave me wanting for very little.
Funny Chihuly story.
Dale called in to set up an appointment. He set up the appointment with my boss. My boss had absolutely ZERO knowledge of who Dale was (me either) and as they were ending the phone call my boss said "I'll keep an eye out for you"...
When Dale came in my boss was outwardly visibly shook to the core and Dale immediately went to him and told him its ok and by far not the first time that has happened to him and turned it into a laughable moment.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming.
Well some people do like the ZX-9, ZX-7, Dragon etc they find the CR-7 clinical. To me the CR-7 shows you exactly what you recorded without adding any of its own sound signature.
Sorry but we found it to be the other way around in direct AB comparison with the sources themselves
Okay no problem, everyone can like whatever they like.
Yes, it is a great way to impress friends. These fine large power amplifiers create scale and impress us. I once connected my Sonus Faber Amator to the Audio Reseach REF40/REF750 and the system sounded fabulous. But next day, after the enthusiasm settled and I listened to my more usual recordings , the miraculous effect disappeared and it was just a very good common system.
The same for Magico Mini II with my current VTLs.
THE IO ECLIPSE HAS ARRIVED!!!
Jim White and his son and colleague, Ozzy, delivered the beast this evening.
This is not the Io of yore. It is noticeably more, maybe wildly more, transparent and resolving and neutral than I remember my old two-box Io sounding like!

The system will try!
So, when do the Pendragons get setup? This is taking almost as long as the room itself took!
