Audio physic Virgo vs Maggie 1.6 QR

Good information. I know each speaker requires a large room, which needs more?
John, you also state you ran the 1.6 with a CJ MV50. I always thought they needed a lot more watts. I have a CJ 11A amp, 70 watts, and never thought the 1.6 was an option.

Thanks.

The mv-50 is a 45watt el-34 based tube amp. It's the predecessor to the current mv55 and integrated CAV50. Of the amps listed, this twelve year old $600 amp was the number two favorite, behind the 2 month old $5000 100w arc vt100m2. The mv-50 actually sounded more powerful, and exhibited better bass than the vt100. I heard it, so did another guy. The guy I sold my magnepans to actually bought my mv-50 a few months later - he's a local guy. I think he's got the highest performance for the buck system I've ever heard. It was serious competitition for my remaining vt100/virgo system which was worth three times the amount. It did lose out on transparency and detail to the vt100. It was considerably more forward than the vt100. Singers would acoustically appear as a giant, six foot tall wizard of oz heads in the listening room.
