Better SS amp than my Bryston?

Since digital is your only input source, you should take a look at a TacT M/S2150 amp. You could connect the digital
output of your CDP directly to the TacT and eliminate
a preamp. Unlike the h20, it a fully digital amp, and along with it's remote volume contol, it also can perform
digital crossover functions.

Krell KSA150, Threshold SA100, Levinson M 27.5 or M 23..these all fit in the budget...personally I'd look for the Threshold but a Levinson M23 is awful good..the Krell is supposedly able to handle any load with ease....

I agree with Eldartford. I'm one of those that prefer my Maggie 1.6's because the woofer and tweeter share the same technology. They were reviewed by TAS as being a little soft in the top end, but I seemed to have solved that by rebuilding the crossover with better quality parts. They are so clean and delicate sounding now....

By the way, I drive them with an Aragon 8008BB and have no desire to change amps.

No. Respectfully, No.

You might be able to find a pair of used Clayton M100 monoblocks for near your price range. (The Clayton S40 stereo - at about half the price - might even work.) Many owners (including me) and listeners find their musicality (among other strengths) to be outstanding, and with 100 watts (into 8 ohms) of Class A power (for the monoblocks), current should not be a problem. I can also second the earlier respondent's recommendation of Classe CAM monoblocks; I'm familiar with the CAM-200s - they sound wonderful and are available used in your price range.
