The Magnepans need a lot of current and the Odyssey would simply amaze you. It has current to spare. You can try it at home with no risk. To get the best bass, put it on top of some black diamond racing cones and a slab of granite.
Amplifier Dilemma
Hey guys I need some advice on which amp to buy.
I plan to spend up to $800, I prefer an integrated amp (which are very few in my price range) but if a raw power amp gives better sound then I will go with a power amp.
My aim is more for sound quality than quantity. The problem with my system is that it is way too dark, its like listening to music with a blanket over the speakers, I am pretty sure is the amplifiers fault. I am thinking of buying one of these:
Aragon 4004 or 8002
Classe CA 101
McCormack DNA 0.5
BELLES 150A HOTROD
Odyssey Stratos
Pathos Classic One
New Conrad Johnson Sonographe SA-250
There are so many to chose from, help me make a decision.
