I like tubes with my Apogees....I think it depends on your goals. I found tubes to be more musical sounding than what I had been using...Solid state, Krell, Bat, Pass......ect
My advice, forget the Maggies...buy some Apogees, and tubes.
Not sure what there is to watching tubes kind of like watching a turntable go round and round, only a little less exciting.
In some applications tubes do contribute to a very natural and lifelike sound. Depending on where you want to employ tubes in your system, they normally require careful matching and dont sound very good when mismatched.
Best phone your Maggie dealer or manufacturer and ask them if they are suitable for tubes.
