Recently, I visited my local High End Audio Dealer to audition the Magnepan 1.7i speakers. The dealer set up the speakers in a system using a Prima Luna Evo 200 tubed integrated amp to drive speakers. To my surprise, the Evo 200 drove the speakers to high volume levels with ease and authority, from top to bottom. And the sound was unbelievable!!! Apparently, the Evo is a very high current amp which produced great bass response with the Maggie 1.7i's. I was so impressed by the magical and sublime sound produced by this combo that I purchased the Maggie 1.7i speakers,but, bumped up to the higher powered Evo 400 for a little more power. But, in my moderately sized room, the Evo 200 would have been enough to get the job done nicely. Maggie ribbons and tubes are a match made in heaven.
Magnepan 1.7 i - Amp suggestions
Dear Amigos !
Once again thank you for all your Help last time helping me to decide on some Speakers ! Very valuable !
I finally did get the Magnepan´s 1.7. With the kind help from Peru´s Magnepan Distributor I had them built at the Magnepan Factory and shipped directly to Santiago, CHILE.
They are sitting in my music room !!
Now I need to put them into working status...very eager !
Could you please help me with some Amp alternatives ? to drive them .
Thank you in advance,
Best regards,
Robert
