Magnepan 3.7 and Nuforce Reference 18

Hi, I need to power my Maggies 3.7 and I am looking for some advice.

I already have a Musical Fidelity Int Amp 500WPC @ 8 Ohms Dual Mono(@4 Ohms data has not been released).

I am considering buying Nuforce Reference 18 Class D Amp. Does anyone know if they will drive the Maggies 3.7 with full authority?

These amps have excellent reviews as far as sound quality is concerned, but I am not sure if they can compare to a 500WPC Class AB amp when driving the Maggies.

I am considering Class D as they can fit in my suitcase :-)

Thanks!!

in class D Jeff Rowland's old 501 or 312 are a superb match with Magnepan !

I suggest you check out the Sanders Magtech amp.. I just installed in my system with 3.7s and wow.

They have a 30 day trial.

Happy listening,

Just unboxed a Sanders tonight as well...the 3.7's are still in the box on the floor, as I hooked up my VS4 jr's to see what the amp would do..I have a Gamut d200, Mk 2, a very nice amp, but the Sanders has added a lot of weight to the sound. Certainly a stronger bass. As soon as I can cat-proof the Maggies, up they will go.
Does anyone offer a cover for panel speakers to keep fur-balls from using them as scratching poles??
Sorry, but the cats stay!!
