The 1.7i arrived in the evening today. Took a while setting them up. The big Xindak drives them with no trouble. First impressions are extremely positive, big soundstage, lots of room between instruments, refined and transparent sq. One Happy camper here.
Thanks for the likes. Have put in some six hours of listening, and I can say "this is my best speaker yet", that is of those I have owned this is special. I was worried, that the Xindak might be a paper tiger, but mercifully that is not the case, 320 watts @4ohms is proving adequate. The two are sounding good together, and there is a comfortable volume range in which I seem to be settling in. In fact I am listening less loudly than with the Blumenhofer, or it is appearing to be less loud. I have to thank the folks in this thread, who got me interested in the Maggie's.
