It was a magic combination. I can understand where you're coming from though because on paper you wouldn't think it would work. Sure, C - but back in the day, that was the kind of power you had available. No AR 250SEs or VTL 250w. Imagine how much better the 57s would've sounded, powered by one of these amps!

With low power - tube or ss - yes, Maggies will make some sound (at low volumes) ... but they won't sound more than 'OK'. Andy Not enough!! 24 blistering watts. Actually sounded very pleasant for simple fare at low to moderate volumes but more complex stuff wasn't convincing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can well believe that, G. Diana Krall - yes ... Beethoven's 9th - not by a long shot! They need something like AR 250SEs, perhaps! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be good - Wilson Fisk has some : Daredevil S1 E8 1min 45sec How amazing is that - I have never seen these speakers before and literally just sat down to watch E8 and I saw the little floor speaker by the window and thought I would rewind to see what kind of music system he had and only then noticed the speaker behind him - is the universe trying to tell me something ??

Looks like they have the matching subbies too. The only speakers i would buy. I think the full setup of the speakers not in any special finish is $1.2M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
