I would like some info on the best amp for my maggies. Also what is better biwiring or biamping with a electronic crossover. I'm considering Bryston either a pair of 7Bs or two 4Bs with an electronic crossover. Does anyone have any helpful hints?
You cannot beat the Bryston 7B's with the Maggies. I use the 7B with the 3.5R's and my friend is using the Rogue Audio Monoblock 120's with his 3.5R's. Both offer excellent sound.
I have used ARC D115 mkII and ARC VT100 mkII amps wtih the 3.5's with excellent results. In fact you can "quasi-biamp" with these amps (ie. use for example 0/4 taps for the mid/treble and 0/8 for the bass.) These amps are nominally 100W. Thus, it is not accurate to claim that the 3.6's need excessive amount of power to perform up to their capabilities.
