I used the D115 MkII for 12 years to drive the MG 3A and 3.5/R. The D115 MKII was an excellent performer, and is highly recommended for the MG 1.6. I would use the quasi-biamping technique with the ARC.

ARC...D-90B or D-115MKII? - Driving Maggie 1.6s
Greetings!
I'm about to venture into tubes and don't want to spend a ton of money. I'm looking at these two amps for approximately the same price.
Is one of these better than the other? I'm expecting delivery of my Magnepan 1.6s on Thursday. It seems like both amps would have enough power to drive them w/o much difficulty, so I'm just looking for comments from anyone who's familiar with these pieces.
BTW - The rest of the system will be:
Audio Research CD-1
Audio Research LS-9
Interconnects are Homegrown Audio Super Silver and Audioquest Opal X3. Speaker cables will be either Audioquest GR-8 or Goertz MI2.
Thanks so much,
Dan
