Colin's classic: Maggie MP250

A.C. MAGNUM  MP-250

No real reason for posting this, other than the pics came out rather well this morning. I took them as I might be selling her on (I was asked), and I need to buy a bunch of tools. I already have a nice Wonfor Pre-amp, so a rare flash of common sense!

Although this was built after Colin's time with A.C. MAGNUM and was a slightly cheapened version (Mr Relph liked to shave on components), It has been updated and hot-rodded to be better than it ever was new (including a few fresh ideas from Col). The only thing we didn't modify the phono stage as I'm digital.

This amp was probably built the same time I was (early '80s?) but Colin is still updating and servicing his designs. Great service!

    He got rid of his Royds.

    He has TreeOngles now.

    Ah yes.
    I think I had been informed. Didn’t write it down unfortunately...

    No Royds for about four years now, I think. :)  Except, the sound I have will be immediately familiar to anyone who loves Royds… Vive la Triangle!



    Something like these (lifted from google image search)

    Thanks Alan.
    Nice looking big speakers. And the sound is Roydeque...? Good stuff.
    (That spike looks like a toe waiting to be impaled though! Ouch!)
