How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies

my only concern with solid state is running out of the room because the upper mids and lower treble becomes a pain in the ear.

does anyone have a problem with treble response when listening with a solid state amp ?? i have been spoiled by tube "softness".

I was actually thinking of trying the MMG's. If you look at Magnepans site, the sensitivity is listed as 86 db 500 hz 2.83 volts. If you do the math, that is actually 2 watts. The sensitivity is therefore 83 db at one watt. I just bought a new amp. It's 100 w/ch at 8 ohms. I think it just won't cut it. I'm thinking a reasonable size amp for the MMG's would be 200 w/ch. Just remember, to increase the spl 3 db requires you double the power.

my 40 wpc push pull tube amp drives them great. you guys must be getting the wrong amps

Cooch...Actually, Maggies, MMGs anyway, sound great, EVEN when driven by only 40 watts. But, there is more for you to discover some day.

it has arrived. it has been intrfaced. and.......

it's good solid state , but...... it doesn't sound like a tube amp.

its roger sander's ss amp designed for electrostatic speakers and other dipoles.

a noble effort it is and a product fairly priced. it avoids one of the flaws of ss designs i have noticed, namely, miniaturization.

i will give it more time.

i am not a fan of solid state, but this is certainly one of the better versions i have heard.
