RE: More confusion over pre-amps and amps for Maggie 3.6s

Hi K,

You will get more consensus if you ask about mags and chest thumps :)

My 2 cents is that I agree with your assessment. A pre is not necessary and if you have one source IMHO a pre often leads to a worse SYSTEM.

To get a pre that doesnt mess up the sound you have to usually spend a bunch of dough. Dough that could go toward better amps than you are talking about, and I personally would make certain that I had an amp or amps that could really drive the 3.6s cleanly. You can do better than the amps you are talking about.

Also I am betting that your amps are tripping fuses because they are probably clipping. Said another way if fed clean power mags can pretty much take all you can give them.

Now if your cdp doesnt have a volume control then a pre is a must.
