How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies

Cooch...Actually, Maggies, MMGs anyway, sound great, EVEN when driven by only 40 watts. But, there is more for you to discover some day.

it has arrived. it has been intrfaced. and.......

it's good solid state , but...... it doesn't sound like a tube amp.

its roger sander's ss amp designed for electrostatic speakers and other dipoles.

a noble effort it is and a product fairly priced. it avoids one of the flaws of ss designs i have noticed, namely, miniaturization.

i will give it more time.

i am not a fan of solid state, but this is certainly one of the better versions i have heard.

I started with Magneplanar MG-1Bs in 1980 and in the last 26 years have upgraded through MG-IIBs, MG-IIIa's, detoured into Apogees and Martin Logans, and finally settled into a pair of Tympani IVa's.

For amps, I started with a Hafler DH-200, upgraded to a DH-220 and a DH-500, tried an Adcom GFA 555 and now have a Mark Levinson 23.5.

They can certainly gobble up the power, and I am thinking now about upgrading to even more powerful monoblocks.

Nonetheless, I would agree that it depends on your musical taste and your room.

I imagine in a small room, playing not the most dynamic or bass heavy music that even modest amounts of tube power would sound great.

Good luck.
