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

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).

IMO you need 250 watts minimum with 300+ being better.
Some good amp choices here and some I would never use.
I like Classe, Bryston, Krell, Innersound, Threshold and Sunfire. Should be able to find some of these in your price range. Another option is a Rotel for now until you can afford the amp of your choice.
Tireguy, I have a 20K plus speaker systema and agree with you. I miss my Maggies and am thinking of selling and going back to them. They do somethings like no other. I think they are the best value in all of highend audio.

The Adcom 5802 that I currently have puts out 450wpc and it worked well with the 1.6's. The 3.6's are a different bread all together. Do you think that this Adcom amp would do justice to the 3.6's ? I know that Adcom isn't really a high line company like many of these others. Or should I not even bother with trying it and get something better right off the bat!
