I agree that more clean power the better. Regarding your speaker placement and acoustics, check the DIY asylum for projects to treat your Maggies. Some worthwhile to mention are the DIY Argent Room Lens project on Jon Risch’s website. Also obtain a copy of the “Master handbook of acoustics” for an even broader perspective on the subject.
Need Maggie MG-2C help....
I just recently got a nice pair of these. Very clean, no torn ribbons, and no rattles. First, I'm using a Counterpoint SA-100 amp that's 170 wpc @ 4 ohms. This amp was great on my SMG's, but seems a bit weak on the MG-2C's. Would I be better off with something in the 400 wpc range? Second, I finally got them positioned right where the soundstage is large and has a prominent center image. But to me these speakers seem to be a little harsh in the midrange area, something I didn't experience with the SMG's. So have any of you had this same problem? I was thinking of changing the x-overs, but not sure what to get. Any help appreciated!Thanks,Danton
