Tube Amplifier for Maggies


I am thinking about buying Magneplanar MMG's and matching them with a tube amp. I can get a nice Antique Sound Labs Ki22 FOX, which has 22 wpc. I am listening mostly to classical music and Jazz in an average sized room at moderate levels. However, I like to listen to big symphonies, which require quite a bit of power from the amplifier. Any thoughts on whether this combination would work?

Thanks

People are funny.

Maggies + tubes = MAGIC

I would question whether the ASL would have enough juice at only 22wpc, but I used a 50wpc ASL amp (4 X 6550s) and it was fantastic.

I also used an Audio Research D-115MK2 with my Magnepan 1.6QRs and it was probably one of the best-sounding systems I've EVER heard.

Magnepans are a straight 4-ohm resistive load, so as long as your tube amp of choice provides plenty of voltage and has relatively beefy transformers, you'll be fine.

What's your price range?
BTW I did have the Zero autoformoers and they are very nice and help a lot and fun to play with, but I still decided to go with a Plinius SA100 MKIII solid state amp.
I've heard the Music Reference RM-200 sound wonderful with the 1.6s and 3.6s. It is a hybrid unit featuring a solid-state input stage, and a pure tube output stage. Unlike most tube amps, it functions well with low impedance loads. It is also attractive, built like a tank, and doesn't eat tubes like other designs.
