Hello, I’m reading this very late. I’ve got good experience with several versions of Magnepans. Especially the 1.6. A great amp to match these speakers with is a Conrad Johnson SA-250 amp. High current solid state 125 watts. I own 2 and also a SA-400. Years ago, Absolute Sound Magazine had an article of a “Dream System” under $15,000. It consisted of the Magnepan 3.5’s being run by SA-250 amps. I’m preparing to let go of my SA-250 amps soon so let me know if interested.
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.
