I'm loving the Maggie 1.7. Anywhere I put them, they sound great to me.
That is contrary to many posts online, but I'm very happy with them.
It was odd that when I removed them from the box, they made intermittent crackling noises.
The noises stopped after about 3 days. Kinda sounded like static electricity , or maybe the panel innards were settling after being in the box.
Now, I have to find the next component to upgrade.
It's a sickness. Upgrade 1 thing & you want more.
I have an Aragon 8800x3 power amp, a Krell SoundStage preamp.
I bought both used the past 2 years. They are both > 10 years old.
Marantz cd player with a Schitt DAC & a Sony 4K player.
I never wanted to spend big on digital media players.
My speaker wire is on the cheap side & I'm using the power cords the components came with.
