+1 on room
clean room, carpet, or hardwood?
you will need sufficient current for those speakers, and congrats o n the Maggies, those are wicked good speakers. May need corner traps, etc. I have pillows behind my 2nd system, they are in the,same situation as I mentioned in previous message.
soaks up excess boominess.
those things are way too big for 14x14 room. Room open on any sides,? As mentioned, you get that airy open sound from reflection, and the highs from the Maggie’s,…oh,did I say they are awesome speakers?
took me 3 weeks of nightly moving speakers, swapping rca cables, swapping CD players, etc etc.
the most important would be the amp, audition if possible, and check audiogon daily for a stereo amp or. Monoblocks.
you need to look for a high current amp, those bad dogs will suck up 100w easy, and the amp will clip.
NO,CLASS D ,..MUSIC WILL SOUND FLAT AND UNINSPIRED, EMOTIONLESS.
NO TUBES.
SEARCH FOR A MIN 250w high current amp or monos.
keep checking reputable shops and audiogon, usaudio,mart.
good luck
