What is the amp for magnepan's: tube or solid?

Hold it, Tireguy. I did believe the Parasound was superior--until I received the Classe back from the factory and it had been upgraded. The upgrade took it to a level that went way beyond what the Parasound can accomplish, I think. I will put the Parasound back into double-check, but I don't believe it has the same power reserves, finesse, and control. This is not to say it isn't an excellent amp and may well be able to power a more modest speaker like the 3.6.

Also, Tireguy, I believe it's somewhat misleading for you to ascribe to me your decision to procure the Parasounds. It would be nice if I enjoyed that kind of persuasive power, but I believe a certain Oregonian may have had to do more with it if I'm not mistaken.

I had Maggie 3.6's with Bryston 7B-ST's. It's an awesome combo. Maggie's love power, and power will help with the bass.

I also supplemented with a REL sub.

The biggest surprise to me vis-a-vis the bass was the addition of a Maggie/Cardas wire kit. The improvement was jaw dropping. Mye stands help too, but not as much.

Good luck,

Rich

Hey Gladstone, sorry about that- I was quite harsh with out cause, add 6 pints of Guinness to that and well you see what happened. Let's not turn this into the DarTZeel thread though :^) I am swamped right now, but I will call you before the weeks out.

no offense taken. I thought you made some good points.
