Your Nait was probably trying too hard! I doubt it has anywhere near the current delivery capacity into the low impedance load that the Maggies present! The ML specs suggest it is much more capable in this respect.A quick thing I do notice is it gives the impression it's not 'trying' with the Maggies.. don't know if that makes sense..
It's like it's only just getting into it's stride driving them.... it has a certain 'ease' about it...
I'm really rubbish at explaining things....

You are the expert there Geoff..
Certainly the ML seems very happy with the Maggies at the moment...

That's a good description Bev, it shows you are hearing the sound fully. Now that isn't a very 'descriptive' explanation but I know just what you mean.A quick thing I do notice is it gives the impression it's not 'trying' with the Maggies.. don't know if that makes sense..

Blimey Alan thanks I'm glad that made sense to you... it was the best I could explain...
I'm now hearing a bit 'more' into the sound of the ML and It's definitely extracting more detail than the SN2, it's quite apparent to me now after listening for a while.... I love the clear sound and the non harshness of it as well
Like all these things I will 'live' with the ML for many weeks/months before I decide what to do with it but initial signs are very good indeed...

Well Grant sometimes I think people get all misty eyed about so called 'high end' stuff, like ML supposedly, but luckily I've never been that swayed by such things
However I like what I hear so far, very much actually

I actually think the ML was super value for money Grant..
If I ever come sell the SN2, plus it's DR power supply, it will more than pay for the ML no problem and probably have a little extra cash as well... bargain....
