Best Amp with Magnepan 3.6's

I had the 1080 with my 3.6 and it is a good amp, just a bit of grain in the treble. To go forward, get a Bryston 4BSST, not 4BST. This gives a very pure delicate treble, great bass control, and if you want more muscle in the bass, get the 14BSST if the wallet can take the hit. I have tried about 10-15 amps and the Bryston is magic with the speakers. I have tried Nuforce, PSE, ARC, NAD (which did very well for the power output), and 200wpc tubes from MFA, Quicksilver V4, Dared tbues, Bella Extreme monos, and the best balance was with the Bryston, for a single amp. I currently biamp with the Marchand XM44, 4BSST in the bass, and a custom made tube amp in the mid-treble. The 3.6 takes huge amts. of power. Fed properly, they are pure magic. Jallen

The tube preamps I have used were the Music Reference RM 5 MKIII, the ARC LS15, 16, 25, Quicksilver linestage, and Full Function. I like the MR RM5 MKIII, and the Quicksilvers. The Quicksilver linestage is unbeievable for the money. I use the Full function Quickie as I need the phono. It is highly modified with new caps, silver wire, etc. The preamps worked well with the Brystons. I tried the 3.6 also with the 4BSST on the mid treble and the 7BST in the bass....very nice...addictive, and a tube preamp, electronic Xover/XM44 Marchand, and I want nothing more. My tube ammp is an Eico modified with V-caps, silver wire, etc.
