Satie,
Prior to the Emotiva I was running a Soundcraftsmen MA5002....which sounded great through the Maggies. Warm and dynamic and I really liked it. It went into protection mode shortly after I got the MMGs and after that happened the XPA-2 crossed my path and I took it in. I didn't get a chance to do a back to back comparo against the 5002, but it seemed to offer more detail with perhaps slightly better dynamics. I do have a freshly recapped and modded Hafler 500 that I compared to the Emotiva and it just didn't have the presence of the Emotiva. I can say with certainty the Emotiva has detail almost to a fault....but I suspect as I improve the fidelity of the MMGs I'll come to better appreciate the Emotiva. However, the Soundcraftsmen went out for a complete refurb with new output transistors and upgraded, higher value caps. I should have it back next week and I'm pretty excited to hear it. It's a great amp.
Yes, I have dual DIY subs with 12" Dayton Titanic MkIII drivers in a slot ported box tuned to 35 hz but I'm gonna seal them and see how that sounds. They integrate with the Maggies pretty good, but could be better. Surprisingly fast for a ported box, though.
RickyM,
Nice to have someone familiar offer a little Asylum perspective so thanks for sharing the info. I don't want to ruffle feathers but, you know, us Texans have that pride thing.....for better or worse.
Yeah, I've been a little busy. The Maggies just compel me to want more. They're so good when you start to hear the deficiencies you just have to get on it and make them that much better. My stands were just an attempt to see how responsive the MMGs were to a few adjustments I felt were necessary. I'm all about a more concerted, serious effort to get the most out of them. BTW, the link to the pictures of your Quasi-Gunned project you PM'd me on AK wouldn't open. I'd sure like to see your build.
And are there pics anywhere of the 'sticks mod?
