Thanks for that 8 ohm comment!
My memory of what I heard from Magnapan may be faulty. It was in 1992-ish if I recall correctly. I got the tubes and speakers within months of each other. The file with my notes is long archived. I just have the manuals on file but Dennis modified everything so it may have been he who said it wouldn't be a problem. At any rate, they sure sound good. Thanks again!
Contention, as the OP in that thread postulated, is counter-argument with little value except to personalize and incite discord. This is counter productive and what has chased so many away. Just look at the demographics of the forum and the sparsity of new posters. I've been around here and watched the decline. No new blood, so-to-speak.
In the headphone forum, Head-Fi, Jude set up a separate place for objectivists to share their views, and several other forums followed. The arguments were ruining the enjoyment with dogma and the overwhelming messianic compulsion to demean another's experience. What one person hears isn't necessarily what another hears and no amount of recitation of theory will ever change that. It is the passion of the hobby.
I am all about measurements, hence my stipulation. My post was genuine. I wanted to get my fellow audiophiles' experiences with tubes and Magnapans. Doubt was sown and I needed a lifeline! Frogman to the rescue!
As I compose listening to an acoustic jazz track, that double bass player owns that fret. The drummer owns the high hat and cymbals and the piano has that wooden quality that one would hear sitting down front listening. It was that which drew me to Magnapans.
Best to all!
