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

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.............

Big watts, clean into low impedance is a helpful.

Find an old Stasi Threshold, an old Levinson 23, the 23,5 is a tad better but soooo expensive. Or hey you like Adcom, try a new Adcom amp.

Or: Coda, or MUSE, a couple of 160 MK II in mono may do the trick at about 300 watts and less than 2K used.

Or: Plinius, or Spectral, or Rowland, or -----
Some people find the big tube amps work well too.

any of the classe amps are a good match for the maggies. i've also heard them w/ bryston, mcintosh, bel canto, rotel, ati, gryphon, essence, levinson, unison, krell, and lexicon. classe and gryphon sound the best.

Aragon amps mate very well with Magnepans.

I also have 3.6s and am taking somewhat of a risk with the new Norh LeAmp 2s. They are not priced according to hype therefore they cost $195 each.

Now I have not heard them yet but, my pair is due to ship this week. And, if they sound good then I will add two more in a bi-amp configuration. All at a very reasonable price (less than your budget).
