I have the Maggie's 0.7's ( room won't support 1.7's) for money spent I'm very satisfied with the performance of my Maggie's As most know they need watts/current I tried using my VAC KT88 tube 100 watt amp that has 8,4,2 taps l also felt l was missing something also on the top end l decided to try my SS amp that puts out 500watts@8ohm 650@4ohms and 1,200 watts@1ohm +65 amps for 500 milliseconds I did the fuse, jumper upgrade and Magna Risers speaker stands All l can is, that it totally transformed my .7's I position my Maggie's 48" into the room, 110" apart, slight toe in and l have approximately 60" to the side walls l sit 120" from the speakers All l can say is now they have excellent inner detail dynamics and nice extended highs |
Maggies like high power ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now we are getting somewhere, which may lead us to the resolution of the OP,,,wait a minute, Nayls02 has a massive SS amplifier,, and still he can not get the Magnepans to perform as high fidelity speakers... ...... Sure glad my tech geek screamed at me.. ***NO*** wow, would have been yet another speaker project disaster. The Voxativ Project set me back $900. Good Luck to Nayls02 I’m outta here |
