The new Maggies are much better than the old Maggies; I would go sanders magtech but you do need to know, Maggies, as GREAT as they are, wil not give you that inner detail your looking for. Great (GREAT) speakers but thats not what they do.
Body for Maggies: Hegel Pass Sanders or Ncore?
I like ultimate texture, body, image density, inner detail, solid 3d imaging and still very precise timing for a pair of Magnepan Mg 1.6 or 1.7.
I am still deciding if i should go for a new 1.7 or a biamped used 1.6 or a biamped Super MMG with 2 DWM Bass Panels per side. its a 16x20 room an i listen at 80 to 85db average at 8ft from the speakers.
active biamping options with the 1.6 and Super MMG: metric halo lio 8 as DSP EQ DAC PRE
2 primaluna premium stereo amps with 2x70W from 2x 2 EL34 or
2 PASS XA30.5 or Hegel H20 or 4 tube buffered ncore nc400 monos
or just go with a 1.7 a XA 60.5 or sanders magtech and a tube pre / dac
can the mmg + dwm setup could ever be as coherent as a 1.6 / 1.7? is the 1.7 giving less body compared to a 1.6?
i only heard the mg12, have to buy used and am designing from scratch.
which way would you go for very solid, lively, fullbodied 3d images and the 1st row / instruments in the room effect?
