What fits well with Magnepans?

had mg12s before with mccormack dna 0.5 rev A. Nope, didnt quiet cut.
if you can tubes, suggest you look at audio research vs110.
For s/s one of the best combo is the Bel Canto Ref 1000 monoblocks.
Maggie loves power. The more the merrier.

I use a PS Audio GCC250 to great effect. Effortless power and huge dynamics.
My Maggies are the 1.6s....and formerly a pair of MG-1s which I had for over 20 years.....I am not an equipment changing guy.
Bryston is supposed to be good.
I tried a Krell 400xi integrated and it ran WARM after about 30 or 40 minutes. Sounded only OK.

I just noticed a Parasound Halo 21 for sale here on Audiogon. I used one of those when I had the 1.6qrs and it was a FANTASTIC amp. This one's for sale for much less than I bougtht and sold mine, so it could be a great deal. Very "tube" like warm sound with the Maggies.

good luck, let us know what you get.

Agreed with the person that said the more power the better. Most long term Maggie owners adhere to this- and interestingly many go from high power, to lower power and than back to even higher power.

Also- a little ot, but I would think twice about dropping big money into a single box cd player. Get a transport/dac combo that you can use into the future. I really see the end of the cd coming soon especially considering how well computers/apple tvs and squeezebox like devixes play the role of the transport.
