This system is overall about dead neutral. The CDP and TT are amongst the best and most neutral available, ditto the preamp and the room and the speakers. The preamp was $7500 SST Ambrosia (see recent TAS, component of the year winner). The CDP is along the lines of but less good than the acclaimed Eastern Electric Mini-DAC with op-amp upgrades (direct A-B).
Honestly, best I can imagine is the Maggies are just true power junkies and they have a soft forgiving nature that blends perfectly with the XPA...notice I did mention and did like the power factor...maybe I should have burned the XPA in for longer but I doubt it...I'm truly jealous and envious users could be this happy with the absolutely lowest cost high-end power amp available anywhere! It was built like a tank and I liked the styling well enough.
Customer service and credit on the return were A+...seem like great people all around at Emotiva.
