Driving Maggie 1.6s?

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.

Odyssey Xtreme Monos. Give Klaus a call.

I would like to stay at $2000 or less, but would like to stay cheap and used until I decide what I really like.

I forgot to add the current system.
