Heard Maggie 3.7i with..

...a Rogue Cronus Magnum driving them. The combo sounded surprisingly great. I was surprised that a 100 wpc amp could drive them so well. Anyone else have experience with "low" powered amps and Maggies. When I've had Maggies, I've always had amps in the 150 to 250 (8 ohms) range.  Though I now have Golden Ear Triton1s, I think I will eventually have Maggies again. I've heard the Cronus with T1 and it's also a great combo. 

I guess the point of all this is that while I generally believe you should choose speakers first and then choose the amp to drive them, I'm thinking of getting the Rogue now and the Maggies in the future. Mistake? Thoughts?

I have no problem with you laughing at my choices. I have no need to impress you with my equipment. All I need is to listen to it.And I zeroed in on the MAC owner: Where you wrote: " It’s the sum of all the parts, the feel of the controls and YES, the BIG BLUE METERS."
Yup. You fully agree with my comment about ’blue meters’. LOL                
You don't like my stuff? (and it seems your insulting my junk as way more 'tit for tat' than not anyway. LOL)  I don't like yours. Who cares? you seem to care? As I wrote if you are worried and need assurance? Not gonna get it from me. MAC sound is second rate, I can only write what it sounds like to me.

There are two sensible routes:

1.  Listening habits>room acoustics>speakers>amplification

2.  Decor>listening habits>speakers>amplification

I am not a fan of route 2, but I will hazard a guess most purchasing decisions follow that progression.

So much for the op’s question. This turned out to be another mc v. Others discussion. We all like what we like because it’s subjective. Let’s just agree we all like music and all have different hearing.

PLENTY of audiophiles "can’t stand me". I chalk it up to two things: First I am not Kissing any dudes behind for any reason. A whole pile of men can’t stand an ’Uppity Woman’.       
I clearly know as much as most other audiophiles. I am not here to ask for assistance. I am handing it out. Another strike against me for being a Woman. (Knows way too much.)
You post shows it clear as can be when you add it (what you think is an insult, but is totally an indictment against your own attitude) writing: "" While others may kiss up to you because you are one of the few or only woman here "" SO you actually think others hold me up due to my being ’one of the few women here" ??
I suggest it is because I say what I think. No holds barred. And I know audio stuff, and to the best of my ability I tell the truth about my experiences in audio... It has ZERO to do with my being a Woman.
