Best Cheap Amps for Magneplanar Speakers

Hmm, very limited budget there Randy. You seem to be tossing up between S/S & tube, so perhaps a hybrid?

Vincent SP-331MK get's outstanding reports. I sort of regret not picking up a B-Stock near 1/2 retail, although did wait and picked up the sublime SP998 Mono-Blocks @ 1/2 RRP. These blow some mega buck big name Mono's to the shizenhausen at a fraction of the cost.

Good luck.

No relationship to the seller.
No knowledge of these particular units.
I've seen less "rough" examples sell for about $800/pair, including some with balanced inputs.
....But, would seem to meet all the OP original criterion:

Except that they are not new.

Best to you unsound,

dlcockrum, high bias Class A/B, direct coupled, high current, mono blocks with enough power to drive medium to large Maggies for a kilobuck or less,
...NEW?!
That is funny!

See Randy’s earlier post, unsound. Don’t shoot the messenger!

Best to you unsound. Wishing you a Happy New Year,
Dave
