Maggie 3.6 and Counterpoint NP-220

Get the Maggie 3.6 than worry about the amp. because maggie is the way to go.

Your NP-220 should have 400W/ch @ 4ohms, plenty of juice for the 3.6's.
Although two NP-220's in mono..... (aagghhhhhh NP-220 monos!; aka Homer)

Yes, I would love two NP-220's in mono! Maybe eventually... :-)

Then get thee a giant toob amp, I use the Manley Reference 350's on mine.

Not the word Naggy'ies yup that's right Nag Nag Nag,'
Your preamp could be clearer, I need more space, I need, I need, I need,

I still won't own anything else.

I ran Maggie 3.5 with the Counterpoint NPS400 for a couple years. This amp has the same power rating as the SA20/220 and NP220 amps. The amp performed incredibly well with the Maggies. There was never an issue of the sound being constarined. The Wolcotts that replaced the Counterpoint brought on a new level of dimensionality and bloom but at twice the cost....otherwise there was not a huge performance improvement here. Overall I would say the Counterpoint is the very best value amp for these speakers and I tried many ARC tubes amps here as well.

Well now that I have had a chance to hear this combo for myself I can say the NP-220 is powerful enough to drive the 3.6's very well. I have no complaints at all. Again I think two 220's mono would be even better but for now the audio bug in me is pleased...
