Magnepan MG1.7QR and NAD Pre/Power combination...system price $9,599
Congratulations are in order when you invest in a wonderful musical instrument such as the Maggie MG1.7QR.With matched electronics and correctly set-up in your room, they will reward you with a lifetime of musical pleasure.
The MG1.7 will perform well on all but the heaviest of rock, or electronic based music styles.
Music styles including jazz, rock, pop, blues, orchestral, country, gospel, soul will surely engage you with a natural three dimmensional presentation. The Maggie 1.7 is capable of being teamed up with most of the better amplifiers available for purchase, be they $1,000 or $100,000.
However, combining the NAD Pre-amplifier model C165BEEG at $1,199 and the C275BEEG power amplifier at $1,499 will have you achieving a musical result for what is an investment a long way short of other options. NAD products don't have that typical 'thin' or 'bright' sound so common of a lot of the highly recognisable brands products on offer.
They exhibit a 'warmer' 'richer' sound that allows longer, non-fatiguing listening sessions.
The 1.7's deserve the best analogue or digital source that you can purchase...and for this system we recommend the Stello Signature DAC and Transport together with Audioquest Interconnects, and balanced digital cables at a $2,999 investment.
This will enable you to connect all your digital sources to your system so that everything [PC/I-Pod/DVD/STB/TV/Music Server/Sonos/Games Console etc] will benefit from it's superior digital to analogue converter
This combination will satisfy you long term for your music and movie playback system.
Again, if you have more budget then an upgrade to your source or room treatments is a good place to start.
The total investment for the 1.7's, NAD Pre/Power combination and the Stello DAC/CD Player is $8,996.
BONUS: 2 pair Audioquest Diamondback Interconnects and a 3m pair Audioquest Rocket 88 speaker cables with a combined value of $1,368 for $603 taking your total investment to $9,599.
Upgrades to consider:Upgrade the supplied Magnepan fuses to the Audio Tuning models for $99.90. Add a pair of speaker stands for $895, available by special order, they will improve every aspect of your Maggies considerable musical ability.
