Nuforce 9.02s powering Maggies?

Lively thread. Punkawalla: regarding your 'what is Class D power?' 4/9 post, what I meant to say is Class D AMP power...meaning a switching amp. Though a watt is a watt etc., 50 WPC coming from an SS amp makes a speaker perform differently than 50 WPC of triode tube power...so I'm wondering where Class D amp power fits in that whole paradigm. For now, I'd like to just try the Nuforce/3.6 Maggie combo and report back here. This gathering will not happen until Saturday, 4/21, so mark yur calendar (if you care.) Many thanks to all who have contributed thus far. - Steve

Hey go for it. I use the Nuforce 9.02 amps on a pair of Maggie 1.6's and they work pretty well! I have used the maggies with VAC and Odyssey Extreme amps (the Odyssey's pretty good by the way)and I like the Nuforce maggie 1.6 combo the best. The bass is great and the midrange was REALLY good. However I don't have any experience with the 3.6's. You might want to call John at the cable company and ask him about the 3.6 nuforce combo. He has tried the two together and he really likes the sound. I will say that the comment about the ringing effect is acurate. I have found that it is somewhat speaker cable dependent. I also know that the 9.02SE is suppose to have eliminated the problem.

Best wishes

Hmmm.....interesting thread. Most of our customers own Maggies.

Oh, well.....whatever.

Which supports my belief that many consumers believe the most important component in a system are speakers.

It's not?
