What amps for Maggies?


I'm considering a Maggie setup for my new dedicated home theater with 3.6s up front. What amps does everyone like with the Maggies? What works and what doesn't? BTW, the room will be approx 26'x21'x10'.

I have had serveral pairs of 3.6R's over the last 6 yrs, and here are some of the amps that I have used:

Parasound JC1's (sublime, very full rich sound)

Innersound ESL 300 (massive power, never runs out, very detailed)

Bel Canto Ref 1000's (massive effortless power, very detailed, not warm)

McIntosh 500 ( not a match )

Cary Audio 500MB's (tube like sound, HUGE Bass, great match)

Bryston 7B's (power, nice, but not my favorite)

Pass Labs X 350's (good amp not my favorite)

I have not tried, but hear that the H20 500's and Spectron Musician III (all versions) are great matches.

If you can get an Innnersound ESL used to start, that would be what I would do. Go from there, great not too expensive amp, made for planars.

My favorites are the current set up with the Cary's.

Good luck, love the Maggies.
When I bought my first pair of MG-1s, I had a (don't laugh!) Kenwood integrated of 60x2 @8. OK, in a small room and wonderful with my than new Magnavox CD player...the FD1000, so you know how long ago I'm talkin' about. Since I was a working stiff making probably 6%/hr, I could finally afford a Carver Cube and did a snip-snip / solder-solder on the Kenwood to make it a preamp....the pre and power boards were jumpered together, so it was SIMPLE.
But that was then and this is NOW....

Any fans of the PS Audio GCC250?
Very detailed, good image and staging, even at 2am with the volume down v low. My 1.6s replaced the old MG-1s.

While Maggies are an 'easy' load, having no big impedence or phase angle swings, you do need bunches of Power.

I think the Maggies may be well served by the neutrality of many of the Class 'd', ICE module based designs....
