Difference in Using Mono-blocs with Maggie 20.7's
Peoples: I've had Maggie 20.7's for about two years. I like them. I have a McIntosh MC462 amp that generates 450 watts pc and does a good job. However I'm considering going to mono-blocs in search of an improvement in sound quality. What is the likelihood of that being the case? I've read much over time about how amp's can make such a difference in sound quality.
Anyone out there make this change, and if so to what result? Otherwise any other useful feedback is welcome.

My brother had them with his 3.6 Maggies. They mix really well with Maggies. Make sure you have a world class pre-amp. I ran some small Maggies with a 400wpc MacIntosh amp and I can tell you the Parasound is a giant step up the chain. |
Have you ever heard any of the big Magnepan loudspeakers, because it sort of sounds like you have not. |
Yes, I’ve heard them. I almost lost a friendship over this whole conversation. We put a set of them up against a set of my new speakers. blueprintacoustic.com There was a huge difference in the low end. My new ones only have a 12 inch woofer and we used the same amplifier with a remote control AB switch. There was a big difference. My friend was not happy …. It ruined the whole night. |
