I have Magnepan 1.7i. Avoid Schiit Vidar. I tried those and one went into thermal protection. Then switched to Bryston. Journey over. I had one then two of the 4B3s used as monoblocks. That’s all you need. I later got an amazing deal on a pair of 28B3s. So that is what I have driving my Magnepan 1.7i speakers now. So much head room for dynamics and transients. What I would also recommend are the MyeStands from Grant VanderMye. Also the Mike Powell fuse and jumper upgrade. With those you will be all set. You will have tighter and better bass and crisper cymbals. Enjoy! |
Posted in your other section. I would recommend a Parasound integtated I don't think you'll find a better match for 1.7 The HINT gives you the current you need a 2.1 system so adding a sub at some point is easy. You also get analog and digital inputs as well as mm and mc phono section. Enjoy your great speakers. |
Many good suggestions. I’m listening to my Maggie 1.7s right now, enjoying some Trans Siberian Orchestra and am amazed that I can hear this quality in my own home! You will be very well pleased. My system is powered by Odyssey Stratos Extreme with all the options.The synergy between Odyssey and Magnepan is stunning. Call Klaus and ask him why. Also with 20 year warranty. Good luck! |
