I have heard the Sanders Magtech with the Maggie's 1.7 speakers and it was some very beautiful and realistic music. If I had room for panel speakers, that is the combo I would go with. I would also use a tube preamp, but that is just me.
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?
