Description

Magnepan 3.6r's are actively biamped with the Marchand XM44 with a symmetrical 280HZ setup, using Apollon NcX500 and Acoustic Zen Absolute speaker cables and Absolute XLR's on the high channels, and VTV NC500 and Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference II XLR and Satori low-pass speaker cables on the bass panels. 

The 3.6r's internal crossover network (from midrange to ribbon tweeters) has been updated with Sonicaps and Solen aircore inductors using stock values, and completely rewired with Neotech solid core OCC wire direct soldered to all drivers and Cardas binding posts.  Mye stands add rigiidity and Gaia II carpet spiked feet finish absorb vibrations and provide improvements in clarity.

@kevemaher The quadratic N-11 diffusers I made myself, and they are in front of me, on the front wall, and the speakers are in fact pointed in the right direction- towards the listener. Diffusion on the front wall and absorption on the back wall with Magneplanars. :)

@dtorc I'll get around to it one of these days!

I like that you have Real Traps diffusers I have then also, behind the listening position.
Can you explain why you have the speaker panels pointed away from the listener?

Love to see more! It looks intriguing. How about some more images, and a description of your equipment? I'm interested...
