Maggies don't come alive at low or "background" listening levels. So if your "2nd system" will mostly be running that way, forget Maggies, they'll sound thin no matter what amp(s) you use.Exactly. I would also repeat another point: you do need a sizeable room to place these spkrs correctly. If you don't have the space, consider other spkrs.
Magnepan-how much push/pull tube power needed
Will my 40 wpc el34 push/pull tube amp drive a pair of maggies? if not, how would bi-amping sound with the el34 for top end and solid state for bottom end, and also probably adding a sub to the mix. what is the best way to do this? i'd like to keep my el34 tube sound with the maggies. thanks for the help.......
