Maggie Tri-Center Amplification Setup Help Requested

Posted by liberec00 (A) on August 10, 2015 at 10:47:44

Hi,

I'm in the process of getting ready to move into a new house and want to build a new Maggie home theater system that is built around MCC2s with DWMs for mains and a tri-center. I have an anthem 710 receiver that I'll use as a processor and to power the mains for now (it's done well to date with my existing MC1s).

Wendell suggested I use a stereo amp to power the tri (I'm starting with my MC1s and a CC3 as I already have those until my basement is complete at which time I'll be looking to add another pair of MCC2s and a CCR/DWM) with a poteniometer. I thought I'd have to add a monoblock for the CC3, but he told me I don't. He suggested that as long as I picked up an amp that could hold a stable 2 ohm load, I could wire the CC3 and MCC1s in parallel.

Any thoughts? I was originally thinking of looking for monos with gain controls, but if I could get away with a stereo amp, that would be preferable.

I'm in the Chicagoland area and my local dealer has little to no experience with either the smaller maggies nor the tri center. Thus I'm hoping someone here might have some ideas.

Thanks!
Alan Freeman
