I heard that Maggie’s get thirsty for power. Make sure your amp is adequate. If it is you might really like them. You will need a sub or two. If your speakers are able to be bi-amped, maybe use your old speakers for the low end and the Maggie’s for the high mid and tweets.
High Sensitivity Speakers
Within the last year I purchased a Pass Labs XA 60.8 ... which I am pleased with. It’s a great match with the rest of my system which includes Avant-garde Uno Gen 1 speakers (sorry about the hyphen but the spell check insists). I like the speakers a lot but they are now 17 years on so I assume speaker technology has moved in quite a bit in thus time. So as I considered new speaker alternatives I discovered that the Pass Labs 60.8 (69 w class A, 120w class A/B) are “underpowered” for a number of speaker brands. I am not keen to trade my amp up but it’s an option. So looking to upgrade speakers I an looking at Avant-garde Duo Gen 3. Any input on other speaker brands that might be sensitive enough to match with the amps I currently have? I live overseas so by brand choice is a bit limited to “well known” brands. My system: SME 20/2 tt, Tom Evans The Groove phono preamp, Brooklyn + DAC, PS Audio 15 Power Plant, Joule Electra line preamp, 4 Rel 812 subs, room size 30’x21’x10’ ceiling), assorted decent power cables and interconnects.
