magnepan mmgs-buy zero autoformers or stands 1st?

thanks eldar. actually the mmg's are sounding better every day, just the way they are, using 4 ohm taps. bass is getting better and tightening up. plenty of clean, undistorted volume, actually more volume than i need. anyway, i think this amp is perfectly fine with the mmgs. and so long as i like it that's all that matters. it's a good amp, probably better than most people in this thread realize. too bad they can't hear it.....

and i always have my db99's to listen to-not too shabby

EL34 is a great midrange tube... but it's sloppy in the bass. They are useful in guitar amps, and when you're high-passing your speakers with a sub beneath.

whoa, just put the mmgs on the short wall, instead of long wall. i had it like that because of the xmas tree. what a difference!!!! the room is 15 x 12. i think that was the problem all along.

ok, you guys are right. my amp is fine for nearfield listening only. tried it in my big room snd no go. looking at the Krell 400xi and Musical Fidelity A5...both 200 wpc into 8 ohms and 400 wpc into 4 ohms...any opinions on which is better to mate with maggies? gonna probably move up to 1.6 or 3.6 in the maggies line, altho not sure yet...thanks again
