3.6 Maggie owners input needed on amps...........

There have been a few threads on this subject so search the archives. But to recap quickly in your price range look into getting the best bryston you can afford or a pre-owned Innersound ESL300, I would lean towards the innersound.

BTW the 3.6's are fantastic speakers, having owned much more expensive speakers I find it amazing how much I love my 3.6's They are truly the music lovers speaker.

If you do not need it too loud I would recommend a Plinius SA 100 MKIII, it worked amazingly well with my 1.6s with excellent attention to bass detail and impact while keeping a beautiful midrange tone.

In comparison to the Innersound ESL amp the Plinius had a fuller sound where the Innersound had a more stark and direct presentation, but quite alive and airy, and of course the Innersound had a lot more power.

Same situation for me from 1.6's to 3.6's. I went to a Spectron digital amp. Absolutely amazing-clarity, soundstaging, depth... It is astounding how it can make the Maggies rock when you want it. I know it is out of your price range now but, it is worth saving for or holding out to find a used Musician II on the 'gon. I have owned 28 amps over the past 12 years and this one has so much going for it. The power is the thing the Innersound has that the Maggies need. Well, the Spectron has 650 wpc and the Maggies use so much of it with room to spare. That's what you need-room to spare or you will kill the tweeter ribbons. Galen Carol Audio is so cool to work with. Check out the website gcaudio.com and look for the Spectron link. He lets customers try before they buy and gives an ultra-fair deal to boot.

Thanks for all of your responses. It appears that maybe I need to rebudget myself on the amp purchase. I don't want to be in the situation of not buying the right amp straight up. I beleive that makes a lot of sense. I will check out the site Jwmazur. Thanks again.............
