Modern amp solution for Magnepan 2.7QRs with bluetooth and phono stage interfaces?

I'll take a swing since nobody else is. I think you are asking about an Integrated Amp. If that is the case I would do my digital processing outboard because things are still changing fast in the digital world. I've had good luck with Musical Fidelity Integrated amps and Magnepan loudspeakers. Plenty of others to choose from but the MFs are little workhorses. 

Don’t know your budget, but the Parasound HINT 6 hits all of those buttons and a very reasonable price point. 

Thanks! I’ll check them out. Would definitely consider an Integrated Amp if it fit the bill. Humbled by the past year, the budget does matter. It’s been so long since I bought an amp, I am surprised to find so few class A/Bs out there, and how much true quality will cost me. Alas, another reference amp seems out of range right now.

D’s abound, and the salespeople suggest things like the new Marantz 30 with the phono interface. At first blush, power and distortion seem great. Then I look at signal to noise and find 88, which is far below what I would expect on a $2,500 solution, which I think is my practical limit right now. Magnepan’s understandable mantra about high current A/B and "crickets" on D’s seems like a caveat emptor that I should listen to.


So then I start thinking about used separates since that’s where the affordable quality 4 ohm A/B stuff really is. Money is so tight that I am cautioned by all the things older gear may have been exposed to. Possible long-term humidity, dust, excessive use and just normal wear and tear make used gear seem pretty risky. Some are power hungry or run hot and heavy, and mine will need to sit on a 7/16" glass shelf!
Just my luck I’d find a used MacIntosh or some such that needed service. Who to trust for quality and properly serviced used gear?

I’ve always had separate components for the Maggies, but with my changing music sources (was 50% vinyl and 50% CD) now 50% vinyl, (Mitsubishi LT-30 with a Pickering SXV 5000) 10% CD and much more iphone and ipad. To my ear the Apple signals are pretty good and not as lossy as many digital sources even if dynamic range data and format variability are all over the map.

I figure I might as well upgrade my preamp/interface as well. Separates can introduce their own issues, and dynamic range and a high signal to noise really matter to me, as music factors profoundly in my life.

As with great music, lots of my favorite stuff has come from friends and experts. Hoping that will work for components, too. I just want to keep the old Mitsubishi and Maggies relevant and not be able to tell I can’t afford another reference amp right now. Thanks again. M
