Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies?

McIntosh, the 600 watt per channel beast. I don’t remember the model number, but @g_nakamoto has one. MC2600 - killer!

Save your $$$  check out Ava HiFi in Minnesota  The Maggies need good power and Frank Van Alstine is located close to the Magnepan factory his gear will make those panels sing and it will not ruin your pocket book

there are various tiers of ss class a/ab amps that work well with maggies... all sound very good, drive them just fine, deliver the needed current reserve, some are sonically subtly better, more refined powerful better imaging and space

high value/low cost (below 2 grand) -- ava, odyssey, usher (pass design), unmodded older mccormacks, older primare class a/b

middle tier (2-4 grand) -- hegel, belles, modded smc/mccormack, naim, exposure, new bryston

upper (above 4 grand) -- many here... from pass, psa/bhk, para/jc’s, good krells/levinsons (gotta know which ones to avoid like plague), gryphon, vin rossi and so on

there are others for sure, the above is what i know of, have, have heard at length

Way back in my hey days I had Tympani 4's with Levinson ML-2 monos on the ribbon-midrange panels and a ML-3 on the bass panels along with a Levinson LNC-2 crossover.

That setup kicked some serious tush.

It would be quite a challenge to acquire these amps today in excellent condition.

I know this is long past but for the curious who continues to look at the thread. I run Magnepan 1.7i and have used a multitude of amps and integrated amps and most have been very good to exceptional so my contribution is to say ...find an Atoll signature series amplifier. they range from a AM200 to 400.  If you like detail yet smooth....l know you can pick these up cheap used so keep an eye out for them.  thank me later!!
