    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    OK if you can tolerate the visual imposition.

    I've posted the same question on the Naim forum and someone says that the SN2 driving a pair of 63's was absolutely no problem so I am hoping that it will be enough for the Maggies as well.. we will see

    My 'bargain' Maggies will be with me in about a week or so once I've collected them, I will report back as soon as I have a 'handle' on them

    No but the newer models are better built, better all round. 63s are old now and will need a lot of work unless you buy some that have had it all done already. Same with 57.

    But I see you have gone for Maggies so academic now.

    Hope the Naim works with the Maggies but they are not comparable to electrostatics in terms of amplifier requirements. I have used 300w monoblocks with my 1.7s and they reminded me of AudreyII in the Little Shop of Horrors! They still wanted more juice!

    My concern was not so much with WAF, but my own situation to which yours may be similar.

    You may remember the picture of my Betas with the front window behind in the centre from the "Show us your speakers" thread.

    A few years ago I sold a pair of CLS 2s for a friend, and they sounded good but virtually blocked out the front window, and I could not live with that. They also dipped to 0.5 ohms.

    Mind you the Betas are not diminishingly small, but they are not wide, and I've given up seeking a Dom.
