Odyssey Stratos. Maggies crave two things; solid current and damping factor. 45 amps current delivery for the stock Stratos amp will do it, more is better. And the panels need high damping factor to control them. The stock Statos is >500. This mostly controls the bass so it's quick and not mushy. Maggies are very different creatures when it comes to amplification. |
You don't say what his 'limited budget' is. The 1.7 is one heck of a speaker. Also given is that there are some highly recommendeded requiements for it such as: 1. it needs a fairly large room so that it can breathe 2. it needs good clean power and current to make it breathe well. If your friend watches the Audiogon ads, I'd recommend a Spectron Musician III Mk2 (Class D) amp. They usually sell for less than $3,000.00 used. Chuck |
