By the way....anyone else that has driven the 1.6s with other similarly powered tube gear is welcomed to respond....although probably not apples to apples, would still be interested.
Anyone driving maggies with ARC VS110/VS115?
Or even the VT100XX
I own the 1.6s and am not parting with them...(I tried it once and came running back). I am now running them pretty successfully with a really nice high power solid state integrated 250/400W (high current)...but am considering getting back into tubes. I heard the vsi60 and was blown away...but know that will not be enough power.
No matter what anyone says...my experience shows maggies need power to be at their best. I do not listen to music at headbanging volumes... but dynamics eat power.
Just want to see If anyone's driven maggies with this class of ARC amps...and was it enough in your opinion?
I know there are other tube amps out there...just want to start with arc stuff because I know I like it.
