Best Cheap Amps for Magneplanar Speakers


I want to drive some medium sized to large Maggies (1.7 or 3.7) with the cheapest possible amps that will still let them sound great.

I prefer monoblocks and by 'cheap' I mean a kilobuck or so, tho less would be fine too.  I do NOT want to spend 4 thou...

Pro audio amps will give you the best bang for your buck.

Look for Yamaha, Crown, Soundcraftsmen, QSC, etc.

I run a pair of Soundcraftsmen PM860 monoblocks - 900W @ 4 Ohms which have no difficulty in powering my Martin Logan Spires.

A decent preamp is essential. I use a tubed preamp with this combo.

You've listed some very nice amps, but the ones in your list that meets the OP's budget (under $1,000) are the Rega Exxon 3's.
