Magnepan 1.7i - Is a Luxman 505UX good enough
Many thanks Johnnyb... The Luxman is rated to give 150W at 4 ohms.. Given that my room is smaller with the ceiling at 10 feet, I feel I should be able to drive them reasonably atleast for the time being....If I do feel a need for another amp, I will but at least till such time I should be able to enjoy my music....
Also the MG bass module is always there to be added at any point...
Thanks for your feedback.... |
@panditr, I've owned the 1.6 and now the 3.7. I agree that I believe you will be happy with your Luxman and down the road when the time is right for you, upgrade to a different amp of your liking. Maggies do like power, the more the better however, there is more to it than that. It's a matter of how good the amp is capable of sounding while driving the speakers. |

When TAS reviewed the 90 wpc Rogue Cronus Magnum, they set the internal output connection for the 4-ohm tap and got a great matchup with the 1.7s. I have an audiobuddy who did the same to great satisfaction. The review is for the Cronum Magnus, but everything they heard came through the 1.7s: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/rogue-audio-cronus-magnum-integrated-amplifier-tas-209-1/ |
