I have Maggie 1.7 and Cary tube amp. Definitely sounds too bright. Cheapest solution is to buy Mills resistors at parts express. I bought 0.5,1,2 ohm values which gave me ability to fine tune from 0.5 to 3.5 in half ohm incremental steps. To my taste(and my system)2ohm worked the best. transparency and details retained while tweeter was tamed to perfection giving integral nice tubey sound. Cost 4$ per resistor saves thousands instead of changing DACS, preamps and tubes. Highly recommended! And yes Maggies need 4 tubes per channel to sound good.
Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP
I just bought a used 6 month old Magnepan 1.7 and hooked them to my old system, which consists on a Deonon 2900 Universal player, Emotiva USP Preamp and Rotel 1080 power amp and use anticables for speaker connections, and monster cables for interconnects.
The sound is too bright for me, I used the provide 1 ohm resisters, still too bright, any recommendations.
