Description

My stereo system has been w/me for awhile now and the most recent addition are a pair of Magnepan mg-12's.I have my system set up for video use also,so i can listen to my tv/movies thru my speaker's....no surround sound here,just two channel only.GOOD ENOUGH for me and better than nothing!I'm thinking of upgrading to a nice "Tube Preamp" later!It's no HIGH-END sytem,but i enjoy it.

I am a Maggie guy too. I have tried to get away, but I can't. The seemless clarity of the sound always brings me back to the Maggies. Power is king with Maggies. If you are looking to add power, try to find an NAD 208THX amp. You can pick one up for about $600. They are famous for their headroom. Or you could try a Parasound 2200, tons of power as well, a better amp than the NAD. Sounds like a great start!!
