    Looks like an interesting forum....

    Hi, my name is JC OConnell. Ive been an audiophile and into hifi for about 40 years. Currently my main two channel system is all tube ( Conrad Johnson ) except for the power amp which is mosfet ( Amherst).
    As far as music goes, I'm mostly into 60's and 70's rock, 50's and 60's Jazz, and classical of many vintages. I strongly prefer LP over CD, but I don't find CD totally unlistenable on a good system.

        ..
        Forgot to mention, one of the reasons I sold my tube amp was I needed much more power to drive my Maggie 1.6 loudspeakers which are power hogs.

          I'm a former 1.6QR owner myself. Hogs they are but what they do well, they do great. It took me a whole lot of speaker in both size and cost to get the enveloping feeling I got from my QRs.

            I've always felt that Maggies deliver an awful lot for the money.
