The amplifier, in my opinion, should be changed. My experience with the MMG is that they are like all other maggies. Requiring tons of power. There is bass available. But even for those little guys, they would like 300 plus watts. That's probably a little excessive, but won't hurt anything. The earlier Parasounds were bright, as Sean mentioned. If you do a little research, I think you'll be surprised how little you have to put into your system to make it come around. Especially buying used.
Whats wrong?
Can anyone tell me whats wrong with my system? I play all my music from my computer which has an Audigy sound card, and then there is a Yamaha EQ-70 10 band equalizer, and a Parasound HCA-750 power amp driving Magnepan MMGs. I have some cheap Acoustic Research interconnects, and 18 gauge speaker wire which is also Acoustic Research. I'm just not happy with the sound, the performance is not as magical as I thought it would be with upgrading to MMGs from Bose 201s. Can anyone tell me what to do?
