The Maggie 1.6's require oodles of power to sound right. I used a pair of 1.6's powered by a Spectron Digital One (500 wpc into the 4 ohm load...1 KW total power!) and the speakers never ran out of power or had anemic bass as others have often commented about. This is a speaker where wattage should be the primary consideration when selecting an amp. I also used a tube preamp, which gave the set up a much smoother sound, in my opinion. Happy Tunes!
What is the minmimum room size for Magnepan?
I know it will depends on the model, the bigger requires the larger room. As the speaker require to be quite a bit far from the wall. What are the minimum room size it requires (esp. for model MMG and MMG 1.6) so it will let the speakers sing with thier full potentail?
Also how durable are these type of speakers? I mean how long I should expect them to last? I have heard about scary stories that the the ribbon/quasi-ribbon types fall apart easier/faster than the convensional ones. Is this true? Anyone have had a real bad experience about this?
Thanks a lot
