MMGs

A year ago, I bought a pair of MMGs.  In my 13x22 room, placement was a challenge but finally worked it out.

Speakers are powered by an Adcom GFA-555.  The only source is a CD player through a passive pre-amp.

Now I have a little more to spend and would like thoughts on the following options:

1) Mye stands for the MMGs

2) The DWM panel with the MMGs (secondary question - can this panel be placed on a side wall perpendicular to the MMGs?)

3) 1.7s

Open to other out-of-the-box suggestions as well.

The goal is always to attain that Magnepan soundstage.  Musical tastes are female vocalists, jazz, blues.

The amp stoped working and issued smoke because parts inside of it blew up .
MMG were not hurt .

Yes a Gallo Tr1, they are very fast and excellent tone .
 I think all they are selling now is TR3 which is about 800$.
 I seldom buy anything new, think I paid $250 for Tr1.

There is a newer Gallo sub on here now for about 250$ , best buy on here.
And no, its not mine .

kythyn,

Magnepan used Bryston to drive their speakers for years at shows.  I have the 1.7 and use the Bryston 4b sst2 with a pair of REL T5 subs and am very happy with the sound.

Thanks Schubert. The reason I asked was my brother in law has borrowed my MMGs and drove them with his Accurus integrated - I thinks 100wpc, and called me to say the amp was got very very hot to touch before he stopped it. This got me worried if he could have (also) potentially damaged the speakers. He also mentioned something about a bit of an "odor" from the speakers - not a burning odor, which made me very uncomfortable. I'll be getting back tomorrow but am a bit anxious....

Ar best it will degrade amp . MMG's are hardest of Maggies to drive and they all are . Oder could be glue on panels. Or not .
