Magnepan 20.7's & Tube Amp

I bought a pair, but haven't hooked them up yet.
I am just curious as to what they can do, considering what Steve McCormack said. SMc just made me a pair of monoblock DNA-1's with the express design to outdo Ralph's MA-1's (hey, they get too hot in summer). We'll see....
When things get settled in, the Autoformers will be an interesting experiment.

I Just spoke to Wendell Diller at Magnepan and reducing the speaker cables has zero affect unless your running 15-20ft of cable. I don't know why we get all this misinformation on Maggies. I use tubes 110w and they rock. I traded in my ARC DS450M monoblock for ARC REF110 and my 3.7i never sounded better. Please stop the madness and enjoy your Maggies.

@bluesy,
Ralph (atmasphere) knows what he is writing about.
And, though you are enjoying the sound from your system as it is, I would invite you to try using a short cable and see if you still feel the same.

@gdnrbob I don’t doubt it but I’m going to trust and believe Wendel Diller. I also have no desire to cut a pair $8k cables to prove a point.

The original discussion was about 20.7 and not 3.7. And in general, I tend to put more weight on inputs from practitioners than from the manufacturer. To each his own.
