Best Amp with Magnepan 3.6's

I had the 1080 with my 3.6 and it is a good amp, just a bit of grain in the treble. To go forward, get a Bryston 4BSST, not 4BST. This gives a very pure delicate treble, great bass control, and if you want more muscle in the bass, get the 14BSST if the wallet can take the hit. I have tried about 10-15 amps and the Bryston is magic with the speakers. I have tried Nuforce, PSE, ARC, NAD (which did very well for the power output), and 200wpc tubes from MFA, Quicksilver V4, Dared tbues, Bella Extreme monos, and the best balance was with the Bryston, for a single amp. I currently biamp with the Marchand XM44, 4BSST in the bass, and a custom made tube amp in the mid-treble. The 3.6 takes huge amts. of power. Fed properly, they are pure magic. Jallen

While I have not heard the combo, some report decent results with the Spectron issue.

From experience, one of the ASP moduled ICE amps, like the BelCanto monoblocs do very well, indeed.
I have the PSAudio GCC250 of 500x2 into 4ohms on my 1.6s

Doesn't Magnepan demo w/Bryston at shows? If true, that should tell you something...hmmmmm

Can't go wrong with Wyred 4 Sound class D amp.
I use the SX-1000's monoblocks with my 1.6 Magnepan's and it's excellent. Very tube like sound with excellent bass, mids, highs and sound stage. Black background.

Yes the Bryston 4BSST/14BSST series are a natural match with Magnepan.Throw in a tube pre amp and you're there.

I have added Musical Fidelity 550K superchargers (monoblocks), to a Mapleshade modded Scott 222c. The best of both worlds. A sweet tube sound with excellent transient response, real bass and slam . Piano is magical.They make Maggies come alive.
