Recommendation for used Amp to power Magnepan 1.6


I am searching for a used Solid state amp to drive my Magnepan 1.6 speakers. The amp will be paired with 20 year old Sonic Frontiers tube pre-amp. Have been using 40 w tube amps. Want to keep the price below $1000.00. I am considering a Belles 150a Hot Rod amp. Not sure if it has the power to drive my 86 dB maggies.

I would appreciate any feed back.

I thank all of you for your input.

I am not as technically astute regarding hifi as some of you must be. I have been using Robert Harley's "The Complete Guide To High-End Audio" fifth edition, to determine the actual power rating of amps. According to the table and calculations in chapter five, pages 86-87, the Belles amp I am considering is rated at 125 w @  8 ohms. and the same watts @ 4 ohms although it is given a 225 w rating @ 4 ohms by the manufacturer. Does that sound right?

I just realized the OP asked about tube amps.  Sorry for giving a list of SS amps.  Oops.  
mcreyn, you are being hard on yourself for no reason. He stated he was using 40 watt tube amps, but is, now , looking into ss. You got it right buddy. Enjoy ! MrD.

As a long time Maggie owner, they need lots of current.  At your price point I am reluctant to make suggestions other than you may need a bit bigger budget to make them bloom.

I spent about 10 percent more on used amps than I spent on new Maggies.  I also use a tube pre amp and the combination is magical when you get enough power to them.  

Good Luck in your journey!!!
