@jjss49 Which of your amplifiers are you using to drive the 1.7is?
Maggie 1.7i vs 1.7 (what was changed??)
anyone know, factually? wendell seems rather coy about disclosing, which is rather disappointing
i got my set of 1.7i’s (on magna risers) - these modern versions are just terrific
it has been since 1990 that I have had maggies (3a’s back then), so nice, so much fun, so wonderful to be listening to them again (and probably set up right this time around, in a proper room!! 😆)
anyhow, anyone know what was changed going to the ’i’ model? there is mention of crossover improvements as i research the topic... but nothing specific or concrete

@mesch happy new year! i will be working through the stable over the next little while, just got the speakers yesterday pass int150 and hegel h190 so far (the no-brainer good matches), both are really terrific, if with slightly different palettes will try hegel h20, pass xa25, odyssey stratos, usher ref 1.5, belles sa30 in due course, then the gan amps, then arc tubes |
@jjss49 I have always wanted to try Maggies. My room size is limiting however in the new room I might try the small maggies (forget model) for near field listening. Wonder if the XA25 would have enough power for them. Getting very close to moving my system to the new digs. Sounds like you will be busy given the many amplifiers. |

@mesch i have always felt maggies need some room around them, and some good distance from the listening position - my own listening (equilateral) triangle has 10-11 ft legs, i have 5 ft of clearance behind the speakern panels to the front wall currently, still doing last of the dialing-in that said, the rave reviewed little lrs is meant for smaller rooms, you might get some retailer and/or reviewer input if they would work well nearfield or semi nearfield in that use configuration i have got to think the xa25 should do very well driving them |
