Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Big time - the Mugmaster gets horny

156.153.255.130

Hello,
I did, and I even started the Planar asylum. Maggies are good, but they require a special room and are BIG (I had 3.6's). They also are demanding of your amplification, lots and lots of current. Tubes and Maggies just don't go well together, despite what others say. Their much touted mellow quality is nice, but it is a coloration that the speaker adds. In their favor, they have the best bass that I personally have heard (though I haven't yet heard good horn bass)

I now have horns - Oris 150 (which are cheaper than the 3.6 btw). They have everything the Maggie has and more. More detail, more presence, sound stage, speed, clarity, and best of all you can drive them with anything above 1/2 Watt ;) I wouldn't go back to a planar if you paid me, FWIW.
