True. So far so good driving them with my Simaudio 330a.
Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated driving Magnepan .7 with Bypassed Fuses
Hi everyone,
I am a relatively new audiophile, joined Audiogon 2.5 years ago, and this is my first post. I enjoy reading the forum very much, and would like to say thank you to everyone who has shared their knowledge, wisdom and humor with me. For this my first post I am looking for advice: I have a pair of Magnepan .7 speakers with bypassed tweeter fuses, and I am wondering if I can safely drive them with my Primaluna Dialogue Premium amplifier. The amplifier has 4 ohm speaker connections, and using KT120 tubes in ultralinear mode it produces 43 watts per channel (per specs). What I don't know is how much current it can provide the Maggies which I understand draw a lot of current (I have not seen an impedance curve for the speakers). My listening room (aka living room) is approximately 13' x 16' x 7', with partially treated walls and corners. The speakers are on the short side about 3.5' from the back wall, I sit about 7.5' away from the speakers, and I listen to music at around 60-65 dB (C-weighted), sometimes peaks in the low 70’s. So my question is: am I taking an unnecessary risk driving the Maggies with the Primaluna? Can I damage the speakers if I play them too loud? In case you are wondering, after I bypassed the tweeter fuse and attenuator connections, the speakers sounder much clearer and precise to my ears in my room with my system.
