2nd on odyssey. I ran my 1.7s with one and his Stereo Extreme model is smooth. Kept it as a back up to my 4B3. Plenty of current. Will send it back for recaps eventually.
While not wanting to be argumentative, the Atma-Sphere M60 is not a good amp for the 4 ohm Maggies. 1- OTL amps don't like low impedance loads. 2- The M60's output at 4 ohms is not nearly enough to drive 1.7's to anything approaching reasonable SPL in even a moderately-sized room.
Ralph Karsten says he has owners of his amps pairing them with Maggies, but with an Anticables Autoformer between amp and speakers.
I’m using a PS Audio BHK 250 with the 1.7i. Great sound & the amp never sounds strained, even at extremely loud levels. Relaxed yet articulate & powerful.
