I am fond of the "Maggie" sound. Which model do you have and what do you use to drive them, if you don't mind me asking? I have 4 (modified) MG1 Improved speakers, currently driven by a tube amp of my own design with KT88s in PP triode AB with a 2 ohms tap on the OPTs. There are 2 speakers in parallel for each channel. The sources are a Pioneer PDS used as transport with a homebrew DAC (CS4329) and a homebrew turntable with DIY tube phono preamp. In the bedroom are 2 SMGAs driven by an old Yamaha receiver and a TEAC P700 CD combination, in my hobby attic there's another pair of SMGAs driven by whatever is floating around. I have a huge pile of vintage audio gear and DIY amps to choose from. Gear to be repaired, or new designs, always gets an initial listening test on the SMGAs upstairs, then they're moved downstairs to play on the big Maggies. -- - Maggies are an addiction for life. - |

Do you think that the 3.6 is worth double the cost of a 1.6? Thanks. west - Maggies are an addiction for life. - |

Sander ... Do you think that the 3.6 is worth double the cost of a 1.6? Thanks. If you like more clarity and at the same time somewhat extended low end, the cost of the 3.6 is surely worth it IMO. You're a happy man to live in the States, where they cost only $4200. A pair of 3.6 is over 6000 euro here, that's about 9000 dollars....... -- - Maggies are an addiction for life. - |

They are in remarkably good condition and sound remarkable as well. But they visually dominate any setting they are in... so it goes. He likes them which is all-important. Peter Wieck Wyncote, PA |

My Maggies MG1 Improved can still compete with the later models, especially when driven from a good tube amp. I have had OPTs made, with a 2 ohms tap, to drive 2 of them *in parallel* for each channel. With 20 watts of KT88 PP in triode, this system sings really beautifully, be it not extremely loud (surprise!!) ;-) Piano is its forte, just as I intended. -- - Maggies are an addiction for life. - |
