I stopped into Audio Labs Saturday and had a brief listen to the 1.7's. The speakers were brand new and in need of considerable break-in time, percussion sounded kind of tight, bass lacked extension, but they were still a pleasure to listen to. I noticed that their 20-watt Rogue amp was clipping which didn't help the audition. will definitely go back for another session with the 1.7's in a few weeks... Their Cayin tube gear looked and sounded pretty impressive with their other Maggies, not sure why the small Rogue was being used?
