Feeding Maggie


Medium sized room(12'x30'x81/2') drywall,curtains,upholstered furniture,rugs over hard wood.
Classical(including jazz) at live performance amplitude.
What integrated amps would you feed a pair of Magnepan1.6qr's? Are there any you would not use?
I know,seperates are better,but money is an object.

thanks

Well I know a maggie and she just loves chicken!

This may be common knowledge for you but I would stay away from tubes(which happen to be the only int. that I know much about). Lots of people talk very highly about Rowland and Accuphase int. amps, and more people talk about the synergy(sorry for those who don't like that word) between Rowland and Magnepan as being very good. Good luck and let us know what your budget is and we can point you in the right direction(i.e. away from krell, that was a joke no need to start flaming!)

My budget is what is necessary(used,in a buyer's market) to match Maggies' capabilities, but not any more. I don't want to buy redundant quality or quantity or both.

Thanks
I have to agree with Tim for the most part. But, I prefer Maggie's with a particular tube amplifier. I thought the best sound I ever heard out of the 1.6's was with a pair of Wolcott P220M amps on them. It made the speakers sound absolutley world class.
