Which amp is best to drive Magneplanar 1.6's?


I am presently using a McCormack DNA 0.5 REV "B" to drive
the speakers which is very clear but I was wondering what
else is out there that would be better in terms of bass. I'm using a Krell CD player which is known for bass and
is connected directly to the amp. Any suggestions? Thanx.

I just hooked mine up to an Audio Research VT 200. WOW! The Maggies do really crave good clean power. And lots of it.
I just purchased a new pair of 3.6 Maggies. I am currently using an Anthem MCA3 to power up. I am looking for advice regarding monoblocs or stereo amp. I would like to buy used as i spent most of the money on the speakers! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you want solid state, I found VERY good synergy with Pass Labs, Parasound JC-1's and GamuT amps.

Good luck!

PS - I do sell one of the brands mentioned.
I'm at the low end of this economically, and I'm using Outlaw Audido's 755; I've got four channels at 200 wpc biamping my 1.6QR's. Tons of power and detail for about $1,300.
But, I do wonder if it could be improved by moving to another amp. Problem is...cost. Any recommendations on Multi-channel amps in similar price range used that would best the Outlaw?
Appreciate the info.
One more comment; I agree wholeheartedly with Kinsekd above, and recommend a quality sub. I had good, but not great bass with stand alone 1.6's. I craved more low end. So, I added a Vandersteen sub. I understand that unofficially, the Vandy is the sub of choice for Magnepan. The Vandersteen takes it's signal from the amp and utilizes a crossover to feed only signals above 80hz to the mains (relieving 1.6's from trying to reproduce the lower frequencies). I believe this is explained on Vandersteen's website. You won't lack for bass with a pair of subs! I built HT this year, and added second Vandy sub; awesome low end!
Of course, amplification will partially dictate quality of bass.. But what everyone says is true, give Magnepans Power Power, Power and Whoa! Great sound!
