Amp change

Bought my original rig (2ces, quicksilver, audible illusions, vpi etc)!from John over 20 years ago. Can’t afford new so I’m looking for used. The fact that John is a dealer for Aesthetix made me feel confident about the brand. Still have the 2ces so maybe in a second system. 

I love and own Aesthetix products and used to own the Atlas but downsized to the Mimas integrated. The Atlas sounds really good with the Maggie 3.7’s at my dealer, Audio Connection. Another great option is the Belles Virtuoso which my dealer uses  a lot for his Maggie’s powerful and sweet and sounds wonderful. I owned Quicksilver V4’s for 15 years and loved them but I wouldn’t match them with Maggie’s. If you wanted to keep your Quickie’s you might consider a pair of Vandersteen speakers instead of the Maggie’s. Your system would sing with the Vandersteens. If you are in the Northeast you might want to call John Rutan at the Audio Connection in Verona NJ. He carries all of the brands you own and may have suggestions for you. Good Luck!

Gold Note GaN amps are awesome and with the change is distribution you can get them fairly inexpensive. I bought 2 PA10 running in mono for $2600.00 Shipped. Love Italian gear. 

Great suggestions ... I just acquired Kismet Amp from Odyssey.  

I'm a shill for Klaus in Indianapolis ...

Great build, approachable price-points .... good luck!

Take a look at the AGD and Atmasphere GaN amps.  Best of luck. 

That is an expensive amp. I would upgrade to Maggie 3.7s and Parasound JC1s. My brother had the JC1s with 3.6s and it was very good. The 1.7 is a step down, a pretty big step down. And if it was my money I'd get a JC5 stereo amp and be happy. The JC1s are huge heavy amps.
