Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage

@ozzy62  "Magnepans are never going to have a deep soundstage."

What? I'm sorry but you must never heard a proper pair. Few loudspeakers can do deep and wide as Magnepan.

I know a little bit about Magnepans as you can see from my system. 

Forget the amp - everyone likes to buy things. Your first order of business is straightening out your room, speaker setup, and room treatment. It's going to be a challenge as a little bigger room with different dimensions would work a lot better and you don't have much to play with.  Pull the speakers out from the wall, put some diffusion behind them, and make sure there's absorption behind your listening seat.  Good Luck!   

You can pick up a Crown XLS2502 for around $400 used, $650 new. I have one here that I use to drive a pair of passive subs, I've messed with it driving fullrange speakers and it sounds surprisingly good. 

I've had 3.6Rs in a room that size and they're compromised by such a small space, but you already knew that. If you can get past the fact that you're not really hearing what they're truly capable of, then there's no reason why you can't enjoy what you're hearing.

Magnepans are never going to have a deep soundstage. It’s the nature of the beast. They do what they do well, but aren’t all things to all men.

LMAO! As Art Linklatter used to say....kids say the darndest things!

I bought a NAD T175 7 channel preamplifer/tuner.to upgrade the Emotiva UMC 200 and it sounds much better. More clarity, instruments sound more defined with better, more defined sound staging.
