Maggie 1.7's?

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.

Try the Mac's with anti cables they do it for me got me off the merry go round.
