Magnepans for the Blues?

Very good insights guys. I listened to the 1.6's sometime ago so my memory is vague. I've been experimenting lately(which isn't cheap) with dynamic speakers and was curious about the highly rated 1.6's. Many highly accurate speakers to me have sounded boring. I've yet to hear a pair of B&W's that excited me for instance. The best sound to my ears to date have been from some less expensive speakers, Quad 22L's for instance.That's what makes this a great hobby, we can all agree to disagree.

Soundlab, Apogee, Carver...Just finished listening to Buddy Guy "Sweet Tea" over my Apogees drivin by only Rogue 120 watt mono tube amps....stunning in every way.

No subs needed... and WILL play loud!

What model Apogees, Dave?

I have Duetta Signatures Beernut. I have solid state (Krell Ksa-250) or tube (Rogue M-120 Magnum) that I can use to drive them with...the Rogues drive the Apogees with ease, and of course the Krell will drive them even louder than I ever care to go.

The Apogees are truly full range (25hz-25khz) so even though I do have subs I don't use them at all for music.

I have a pair of VMPS Supertowers and a large VMPS sub in my hometheater (16hz) bottom end each...I don't miss that little extra at all for music playback...as a matter of fact, the Duetta bass is MUCH faster and real sounding.

I compared the Duetta Signatures and Maggie 3.6's when I was in the market a few years back.
