Some interesting discussion here. "I've run my 1.7s with as little as 75wpc tube amp and currently use a 125wpc tube amp. I can easily hit +90db before any tube glare / compression with the 125wpc one. So I'm a doubter of the necessity of megawatts amps with Maggie's - but I'm in the minority."
best amp for a Maggy 1.7i
I am looking for the most detailed amp for a 1.7i under $1,500.
The amp will be between the 1.7i and a Topping d70s. I use the d70s to control the volume.
The d70s is fed by a Bluesound Node. Or, sometimes, directly by a CD player.
I have a fetish for detail.
I’m thinking NAD 268.
Currently using a B&K EX-442 Sonata and not satisfied.
