If $1k is the top of your budget, look for something like an Acurus 4004MkII or a Bryston 3b/4b and a CJ PV-8/9/10. Maggies need current, not watts. Look for a current peak load of 100 ohms or more. The only integrateds that work well on Maggies are Plinius 8150 and look for an 8150 at least.
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.
