Driving Maggie 1.6s?

I want to add 3D, air, and reduce the edge. Maybe you can suggest a tube preamp to get there. I primarily listen to vocals, jazz, and rock and roll.

What is your budget?

I am currently driving my 1.6's with an ARC 100.2 and an ARC Ref 2 mk1 preamp. I previously had an ARC LS 16 mk1 and it had all the elements you are looking for. Lots of depth, no fatigue and plenty of bloom. What are you using for a pre? Because maggies like lots of current and are toting a 4 ohm load, I would stick to a SS amp such as your Bryston, and play around with a tube pre. If you are considering an ARC product such as the LS 16, 25 or Ref's, make sure they are the mk1 version as they are more laid back, have more "bloom" and have more of an overall "tube" sound than the mk2's.

I used Rogue Magnum 120's for a while with my Maggie 1.6 and it was never enough for me in terms of volume. It did have a wonderful focus and depth. I could see where tubes are a good way to go with Maggies if you do not want too much volume otherwise it cost too much. BTW you may want to consider an Autoformer if you go with tubes, it will add volume and let you control the tightness of the bass, pretty fun and sounds good too.

As far as the edge, I believe the Maggie midrange has so much output it needs to be tamed with ficus trees or foam or whatever you have on hand.
