Tubes and Maggies

I bought a big CJ Premier 4 amp to drive my Maggie SMGs in a medium size room.

My souped up Leak Stereo 20 amp sounded better. Yes, really. Sold the Prem 4 and just as well, since it cost a fortune to re-tube.

My findings are that you don't need a huge amp, you need a good amp. Unless you listen loud in a big room, forget about loads of watts and big solid state amps. A push-pull 300b amp would be fine, and a much better way to go. Maggies sing with the right tube amps with triode stages and no feedback. Pentodes with feedback won't give you the same magic.
