@slaw  An emphatic yes!   
best amp for a Maggy 1.7i
A used bel canto amp might be the best for your price point. Magnepan's mate well with Class D, maybe it's the damping factor or the Mag's stable 4ohm load? Please don't expect perfection for around $1500.

Rega Planar 3 RB880 Upgrade Worth It?
Yes upgrade to a Planar 8 or even a 10 if your budget permits it. You can only get so much performance from a P3 regardless of the mods. Another issue is resale you won’t get much(if any?) money back from all your time and investment. I have a Reg...
