My Magnapan Tube experiment

[ehoove]

Well it will be a good day! The M60's are driving the Midrange panels, and the Mini's are driving the Riboons. Very fluid and smooth with very good drive and attack while showing no signs of glare or bloat. So far I now understand why many run tubes on their Maggies. I will take today to dial them in level wise, then try and tidy up the wiring tomorrow after church. I'm running EL34 tubes in both amps - JJ Blue Bottles in the M60's and Svetlana's in the Minis.
I'm only using 2 of the 3 A200s, 1 for the subs, and one for the Bass Panels. When I get some muscle to help I'll remove the spare A200 from the stack. I ran the system at a pretty high volume for 2 CD's and the only thing that was more than warm to the touch were the tubes which I did not check. :^)

Regards,
Jim

Listening to mono pressings this evening, and I am captivated by the organic nature of the presentation. The experience is exhilarating in its warmth and substance, and the attack and decay is very impressive!
Regards,
Jim
