best integrated amp.


I'm thinking about buying a new integrated in the 5k to 7k range. My main speakers are Maggie 1.7s.Any suggestions?

you need high current to make mag 3.7s sing....forget tubes       if you want tubes    go seperates.    I would try a tube pre with a bryston amp      or do the bryston integrated.......   i drive 3.7s with bryston 28bsst2s and a cat sl1 renaissance pre.....

i know a non maggie dealer in oklahoma selling 3.7s for around 3500

how do you like the Bryston/CAT combo? Which cable systems are you using?
Yes, I too believe in a tube preamp / solid-state amp, especially with Thiels.  Even Kathy Gornik, formally with Thiel, use to say, " I've never heard a Thiel speaker that didn't sound better with a tube preamp."

I use to have an ARC LS25, Classe' CAM200 monoblocks and MIT cabling with my Thiels CS 2 2s.  Best sound I ever had!  Regards.......
