| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt I have a pair of Acoustat TNT200's that were rebuilt by Roy Esposito and modified into Monoblocks. These were from the mid 80's, does that count as vintage? They drive my Acoustat Spectra 33's. Sounds incredible to me.. | |
| Tubes for Magnepan’s. I've owned Maggie 2.5r's, 2.6r's, IIIa's and currently 20.1's . Regardless of anyone telling 40-50 watts of tube power is enough, maybe that's all they has to drive their Maggie's. They NEED Power and Current I currently drive my 20.1's with Cla... | |
| Pure analog system with high power Magnepan’s are great sounding speakers period. Don’t let people put you off from them. You will need tons of high current and watts to drive them, don’t let anyone tell you different. Macintosh and Magnepan’s are not a good fit. Classe Amps are th... | |

| Maggies to Tekton? If you want low and dynamic, would never mate a Mcintosh to a Maggie. I would look at an older Classe amp. I currently run CAM350's with my 20.1"s. I know you're saying those are much bigger than the 1.7's. Prior to the 20.1's I had the MGIIIa's,... | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? Harmon Kardon Signature 1.5 Power Amp $450 and a set of Magnepan MGllla's which i got for -$1100 . I made money from the sale of MG2.6's. Long story short. I shipped the 2.6's and they were damaged. I had a $2500 insurance policy placed on them. R... | |
