MG 1.6 amp - HEGEL or NCORE ?

What would you recommend for Magnepan / Magneplanar / Maggies ?

NCORE is reported to be more transparent

HEGEL delivers more current, but is warmer and veiled.

If the HEGEL brings more image density / palpability / instruments in the room effect / analouge reality then it would be okay for me. Otherwise i would go with the NCORE.

Any experience with biamping 1.6 ?

Have you had a chance to hear these amps with the Maggies. I am afraid that will be the only way to make a truly same decision.

I think a more pertinent question is which Hegel vs which Ncore?

Also what about the other billion amps on the market there are so many great amps depending on your budget and sonic requirements.

Sorry Mechans, I have only heard the NCores with my own Salk speakers. I was just speaking about general biamping info about the NCores. There are several people on the net who have tried the NCores with Maggies. A quick search with google should be able to rout them out if they don't show up here.
