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.

Classe' work very well with Maggies. I run a pair of 3a's with a CA 150 with great results. I have also used a CA 101 and enjoyed them. I would suggest either a CA 150 or CA 200 or two 100's or 101's bridged. Any of these combinations would keep you under $1500.

Enjoy!!!!!

I am using a Luxman M-05 at 105 w/ch class A power. I dont need a subwoofer. I agree with the plinius user. Good class A power at 100 w/ch or more will rock your world !

Hello,

A friend of mine have 1.6's which we tried with my Threshold s500, and it did have good synergy with the maggies....

what about the arcam solo move 2.1? 50 watts per channel in a medium room? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am currently using bryston b60 with no issues. My other option is to keep the bryston and add an OPPO dvd player. However, I really liked the idea of the arcam all in one system.
