I use the ARC 100.2 with my Maggie 1.6's and find the combination to be amazing. The 100.2 replaced my Ayre V3 of which I never thought would happen! The 100.2 with a good tube pre (I use the Audible Illusions M3A) will give you all the authority you are looking for coupled with a liquid and smooth midrange. No listener fatigue here...Set yourself up with a good analog front end and some good cables and you can forget about everything else and just enjoy your music collection. All the best-Gary
100w tube vs ss for Mag 3.6s
Newcomer to high end question.
I have a pair of new Maggie 3.6s -- my dealer wants me to match them with Cary Audio products that will drive them with about 100 watts of tube power. Would I be better off to use a 200 watt solid state amp like the ARC 100.2? My listening room is large (24' x 33' w 13' ceiling).
