With barely "efficient" speakers (allegedly 91db) my $1200 (1500 new when available) Dennis Had Fire Bottle SEP HO amp, designed and hand built by a genuine American geezer (only mentioned because hand wired SE amps from some places cost multiples of this…Shindo anybody?), is one of the best sounding amps I’ve ever heard and produces some genuine loudness with its mighty 12 watts per side (or 17 watts…not certain)…a world class amp which made me reconsider my opinions regarding wattage and geezers.

I also recommend Primaluna. You can frequently find used product online. I would look for the dialogue series over prologue. I think echo audio in Portland had a great deal on some mono blocks. You could buy one and use in stereo or buy both. They do sell online but don’t always ship depending on the product. I have a dialogue one integrated and I love it. |
Check out these bad boys, a pair of M-125 monoblocks, http://www.tubes4hifi.com/bob.htm Scroll down to the bottom for the M-125s. Or yes, as whitestix says, go with one of Don Sach's KT-88 amps. http://www.dsachsconsulting.com/custom%20kt88%20tube%20amp.html Either choice will push Maggies to the limit, no mean feat. |
