| 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... | |

| 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,... | |
