Best Integrated Amp for Maggies MG12


Am new to high-end audio and am considering to get myself a magnepan MG12s. I would like suggestions for a integrated Amp to drive the MG12s. Looking to spend atmost $1000 on a 2nd hand unit. I have been myself considering the Bryston B-60R and the Creek Audio 5350SE.

thx

The 'conventional' wisdom is that an amp should double up into 4ohms and that 'mo better, when it comes to power.
As a long term Maggie owner, there is a certain truth there.
But, you need to evaluate your needs as well. If you listen at hi levels, or have a larger room (volume, not Just sq ft) you will need more juice.
A proper room is next. Good placement of your speakers and maybe some discrete room treatments. (WAF rules here)
Can you audition some gear in your listening space?
What are you going to do for a source?
