Magneplanar 1.4 speakers
I'd be grateful for any adviice.
Is anyone out there familier with the Magneplanar 1.4 speakers? I'm thinking of a move to panel speakers and while I am familier with electrostatic speakers rom Martin Logan, Acoustat and Quad, I have not heard any Magneplanar speakers. I use a Primare 928 Pre-amp and a pair of Primare 928 monoblocks rated at 100W into 8 ohms. Anyone care to venture whether they would be a good match? Thanks |

I have a pair of Maggie 1b's (mid 80's vintage) and have had no problems
with amp sections less than 100W; a PS Audio 2c plus (70w), an HK 760 reciever(40w) and a European Pioneer Integrated Unit (not sure of the power but I suspect is 30 to 40w). Maggies are usually low impedence design so an amp with a hgih current capability helps, however I can't see you'd have an issue with the amps you are using. -- remove 901 from reply email for valid address. ----- remove "Harry" wrote in message ...

I'm sure thatmy amp will b eable to cope with my new Maggies. Have you anyexperience of how your speakers compare sonically with a decent electrostatic speaker like the smaller Martin Logans? |

I have bought a pair of Maggie 1.4s and am very happy with them. As usual there are compromises. My old box speakers (Rogers Studio 9s) are better in some respects but the maggies are better in other ways. I am happy with them. Thanks for the help. |
