Maggie Fans Chime in: Need recommendation for amp to drive Maggies (MMGs and 1.7i)
I have an Odyssey Khartago and I agree it was a little underpowered and ran hot with my 1.7s.   I am looking at Class D Audio out of California. They may be what you and I are looking for.The class d folks here seem to be quiet lately.

Just received shipment of my Magnepan LRS’s
I am interested in how the LRSs compare to the Magnepans you used in the past. What were they?  Like many I started with MMGs and moved up to 1.7s.  My Son uses the MMGs now.
