| Can DK design MKII drive the Magenapan MG1.6 well? I have used an Innersound ESL amp, that had an extra large power supply, and put out 1000 watts into 4 OHMs and they played extremely loud without damage. a drum solo on them was louder than if real drums were in my living room... no kidding......... | |
| looking for best speakers to match with small 25w Trelja,The Trentes are supremly musical and not the slightest bit forward or bright and also extremely forgiving and detailed beyond belief.
