What amps for Maggies?

Guys,

Thanks for the great responses. I will look into each suggestion. My local maggie dealer recommended NAD Master series. Anyone know anything about them with maggies? He is also an Audio Research dealer which if I remember from years past was usually a great combo with maggies but I didn't see any recommendations for ARC. Any thoughts? Also, I'm not sure I want to "burn" tubes in a theater setup which will see a lot more use. Any more thoughts? Also, I'm in the Dallas area if any of you are local.

Thanks again
Dale

Dale,

I'm in Dallas. I didn't suggest ARC because my favorite ARC is the Ref 600 MK2, which has proven to be unreliable in some systems.

If you want solid state, the Classe Omega is excellent, I mentioned it near the front of this thread.

If you’re exclusively home theater, my suggestions for tube are probably off base. I automatically think high end two channel when I see Maggies mentioned.

Wyred4Sound. I use these on my Maggie 3.5Rs and have taken them to the president of Scaena Loudspeakers. On $44K+ speakers they were AMAZING!

You guys must play much louder than I do.

I have 20's and I'm only using 30 watt tube amps.

I agree and I would add "transparent" too
