Maggie 1.6 - Best Amp? Thinking about tubes.

Maggies are great. Tubes are great. The combination is problematical.

Maggies like lots of power. My MG1.6 sound better than ever with CarverPro ZR1600 digital amp, and the cost is minimal.

You're going to need something pretty beefy, they're not an easy load.
Saw a pair of VTL 225s advertised here yesterday, that would be a sweet match.
BAT or Audio Research monoblocks would also be great.

It all depends on your budget. Many solid state options will work for less money. I love tubes, and prefer them in most cases, but it will cost you. How much are you thinking of spending?

A number of people run the Maggies with Rogue Magnum M120's or the New M150's. Jim

Maggies require some serious watts for them to bloom. Tubes? You'll need deep pockets to get what you need...That Bryston is a beauty with Maggies.

I forgot--- what about a tube preamp?
