About to buy a Wyred4Sound 1000 Watt Integrated

Lrsky, I have a friend who owns Magnepans and paired them with a Wyred4Sound power amp, I believe it was the ST-500. In a most positive way he said it was a revelation! I personally have owned the ST-250 and it was one of the most transparent amps I have heard in its price range. I thought the bass was a smidge lacking but that could of been the fault of a tube preamp I paired it with. Wyred4Sound gear has received excellent reviews all the way around.

Thanks for your input guys. I purchased the STI 1000 yesterday. It should arrive in a few days. The Magnepans will arrive in a few weeks.
Buying audio gear is a blast!

I too own a pair of mag 20.7's powered by a wyred st 1000(570/1140) it drives the speakers effortlessy at loud volumes in a 27x20 room these speakers sound better as the volume increases imo it is more important to have the extra power than the last 20% or so in sonic quality you should consider a very high quality source to go with this system congrats

I recently purchased a pair Wyred mAMPs and find them extremely well built. A while back I had a Bel Canto Ref 500s which uses the same ICE modules as the Wyred. If you compare the two amps, the Wyred actually looks to be be the better built amp. My take on these amps is just clean, clean, clean sound.
Although I do prefer the aesthetics of the Bel Canto, not sure it's worth the extra 30% in price.
