Maggie's are great "out of the box"

IME Maggie's sound nice almost regardless what you run them with (within reason), so long as the amp doesn't run out of steam. They just happen to sound spectacular with the right equipment, there's the thing...

I'm likewise shocked at how good my MMG's sound powered by a NAD C272 amp fed by an MFA Luminescence tube preamp. Not as sweet as my MFA mono tube amps but more dynamic. The NAD makes the MMGs come alive. There is an ease to how they sound, even at low volumes.
Now I'm starting to wonder what a much better SS amp would do in my system, although the NAD outperforms its weight class. Twin Odyssey Stratos? Sanders? Wells Inammorata?
And, until I got the MMGs and the NAD, I thought I was off the merry go round for good. :)

So right you are, and my ARC and 2.5's are sublime together. I will end up buying some box speakers to run with the AV Receiver and dedicate it to the TV System once I get the ARC up and running.

Even so, I'm still impressed that a mass produced product could sound as good as it does.
