RE: Time To Simplify

You're right, that is simple, but just to toss another option into the mix, here's my suggestion...

If you're downsizing for operational simplicity's sake the best way to go might be Sanders. The Sanders Preamplifier and Magtech amp can be left on all the time without posing a massive power drain. The Magtech amp also produces the kind of wattage that Maggie's love.

The 3.7i Maggies should be as harmonious in a small to medium sized listening as their beefier breathern in a larger one. Dependent upon your musical tastes you may find integrating one or two well designed subwoofers might make downsizing more palatable, purist opinions to the contrary notwithstanding. Your Elite Blu-Ray player should work well and now warm-up is required.

I'm not sure that the Musical Fidelity integrated option will provide enough wattage to make those mid-sized Maggie's sing, but that's purely conjecture on my part. That said, if simplifying is being contemplated for budgetary reasons, the more minimalist Musical Fidelity configuration might prove the better option.

I fully understand about the switch flipping warm-up conundrum. I currently flip five switches, four directly involving tube electronics (two with my Audible Illusions preamp & two due to the modification of my ModWright OPPO player) and then typically wait 30 minutes before serious listening to give the tubes time to fully warm-up. Design-wise, there isn't much warm-up needed with the ModWright, but the Audible Illusions preamp seems to require a little more patience.

Cheers,
AuPh
