Two tube manufacturers: ROGUE & Cary each say their 80 watt tube amps will do well with the mg 1.7. I am contemplating the idea but then I hear the Mags need immense power.
Magneplanar 1.7 and low power/tube amps
Hello,
I am moving through to a new set of speakers. I demo'd a set of the 1.7's running with fm acoustic amplifier (80w/channel according to the dealer). I have an LFD Zero and also an audio space 300B (21w/chan). Would anyone have experience with a similar output ss or tube setup with these speakers? I realise the more power perspective but my listening is really at lower volumes. The Maggies impressed me immensely, just wondering if others have real world experience with low power matching with these speakers.
Thanks in advance!
