How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies

I am sitting 10 feet from speakers

any opinions on biamping with my 40wpc tube integrated on top and ss on bottom? if so, how much ss power should i get? any suggestions on an inexpensive but good ss amp to mate with? thanks and i appreciate all of the responses

jimmyrod you are right on the money. these are for a 2nd system and i was thinking the mmg's and i do know you can't biamp these. so, i'm hoping my 40 watts will drive them just fine, and it out the bottom end with a sub.the mmg's may be perfect for the 2nd system, and i won't even have to move up the line. we'll see. thanks

the amp in question is a consonance m100 plus. maybe someone is familiar with this amp, or any other in the consonance line. these amps all can kick some pretty good butt, regardless of their power ratings. i guess i may try the mmg's, as my room is pretty small anyway and these would probably be the best size maggie for this room. if it doesn't work, i can return the mmg's. no biggie.

Hey, i did it. ordered my mmg's today. can't wait. let you know how they sound. thanks

i do own an spl meter. guess i should get it out and measure.

ok, just checked. i listen between 66 and 70 decibels on the average. what do you think?

ok, hold on

72 to 74 db from 3 ft away. and i sit 9 feet away, not 10.

really dave? excellent news. i hope you are right. really psyched, they are coming wednesday....what do you think Tvad?

thanks tvad, dave,and everyone else. i'll let you know after some listening how they are...........

it seems like the peaks were on certain notes of a female vocalist. the rest of the time it was probably below my averages. great

well, if i ever move up the line of maggies i will consult with you. but, this is for my secondary system and i think these will serve me just fine. but you never know. but i did look at specs of other maggies and i think they are all similar, as far as sensitivity ratings.

hey, got the maggies today. listened for about 2 hours. the amp is driving them nicely. a few questions, how long to break the mmgs in? and also, how will after market stands improve the mmgs, if at all, and if so which ones would you recommend? i'm not crazy about how the speaker touches the floor in the front. i think the bass would be much tighter with these off the floor. but, i can tell these mmgs do have alot of potential. thanks for all the help....

thanks. should i invest in the mye stands? does anyone have these with thir mmgs?

mmmmm....dave, which post are you responding to? and, the maggie brochure does not say that maggies should not be played loud. it only warns against using an amp meant for 8 ohm speakers.

ok thanks dave. i might as well get some stands and do it right. and i was actually a little surprised with how good and how loud my amp can drive these.. that's why i buy consonance stuff...it's pretty darn good

my 40 wpc push pull tube amp drives them great. you guys must be getting the wrong amps
