This started as a modest system using all Yamaha electronics and a pair of Magnepan MMG speakers.
I liked the Magnepan MMG's so much I sent them back and moved to the Magnepan MG12's.
The Yamaha gear has been rotated out and I now have an all Classe Delta system running the Maggies.
After purchasing the Classe CA-2200 amplifier, I feel I am finally off the electronics merry-go-round.
The Delta gear is fantastic. The ergonomics are second to none as features can be added or modified via a software download. Couldn't ask for more in a Preamp/Amp/CD player combination.
Room treatments have made an incredible difference in the sound of this system.
The room is small (11' x 13'), but this system performs well in this small space.
Classe Delta Series 2 channel amplifier. 2 X 200W into 8 ohms, 400w into 4 ohms, etc.
Magnepan MG 12
The MG12 is the choice of audiophiles getting started in "high end" audio, with good clean bass and a top end that has the resolving power to show off the differences between different grades of electronics. The MG12 is a perfect example of how yesterday's high-end concepts have evolved to benefit mid-priced products. Ribbon tweeters from the past would have cost more than the entire MG12. The MG12 is a 2-way system with 369 square inches of thin-film planar bass and a 38-inch long, line source quasi ribbon tweeter. Large wave launch, low surface loudness, etc. are unique to planar speakers. The physics require the size and shape of a Magneplanar. Like other Magneplanars, MG12 offers superior sound because of its size and shape. Thousands of audiophiles have fallen in love with the sound of planar speakers. The MG12 offers quasi-ribbon technology and planar bass resolution at a price that some audiophiles spend for speaker cables. Musical value is what Magneplanars are all about. Fall in love today!
