Good evening,
elliottbnewcombjr and jss49 ! Thanks for your respective input, I do appreciate it.
Efficient speakers does appear to make sense, for the very reasons you mention. I do want to try tubes at one point. Just starting out in this hobby.
I have only mated both speakers I own with the Peachtree thus far, and if I really like the MMG's sound, the Buchardt, while great, sound somewhat muffled... However, I can tell they have great potential.
I unfortunately live in a country where I am not able to try other amps with my speakers... and have decided to sell them as it will cost too much to ship them to the US when we return at some point this year... hopefully.
I may just move up the chain and purchase 1.7s and S400 when I am settled, and try them with various integrated - amps/preamps combinations... taking advantage of the possibility to return gear after trying them if it doesn't work.
One thing for sure is that I will always own a pair of maggies...
Back to my original motive for posting: should I focus on speakers first and then try out amps to match, or the other way around, or completely differently?
I am open minded and have described my eclectic musical tastes and circumstances and would really appreciate your guidance, if that makes any sense to wonder which component to purchase first, second, etc...
Have a pleasant sunday!
