Maggie 1.7's?

Wow I use a Mac 402 and a Mac 2300 tube preamp with my maggies I love the sound. I don't care what people tell you let Your ears be the judge.

Aolprodj,
You are the FIRST person I've ever seen post with a Maggie / Mac combo.

I know their must be more, but I simply have not seen it in print. ........

Do you think the MA6900 has enough guts? I don't do ear-bleed levels?

The reason is they are busy enjoying the music.I had a MA6900 with a pair of Maggie 3A'S It was ok not great,the MA7000 Was very good.Love my Maggies I had 3A'S for twenty years now have the 3.6R

Maybe the Mac folks down the street will loan me one for a couple days?
I gotta try this for myself!

I had the Mac 501's with my Maggie 3.6R's for about 2 weeks and the combo sounded muddy, slow, and the top end was very etched and harsh.

That said, those excellent amps found a quick home at a friends house with his big B & W's and sound absolutely stellar. Strong, huge bass, crystal clear highs.

Differt horses for different courses.

I do love Mac preamps with Maggies. I use Cary because it's a bit warmer sounding, and I like that with the Maggies.
