To echo what cavy said, maggies want high current capacity but would add wattage sufficient for the room size. When I had a 20x30 room, a modified Hafler DH200 (100W) was "sufficient" but a bigger amp would have been nice. Now in a 12x12 room I have 1W of class driving the 1.7's "sufficiently", can't even use the Hafler, feels like its "shouting" at me even at normal volumes, looking at 25W class A amp to replace the Hafler.
Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST?
Has anyone heard both? I plan on travelling so small form factor matters to me but I'd like to stay with class ab, and balanced connections. I like the idea of having monoblocks with the Schiit when I get the money, and I've had good experiences with the brand. (Owned a Saga, a Mani, and a Jotunheim twice) but Bryston has the name recognition. I'm also concerned that upgrade fever would be relentless with the 3B-ST until I got the new and very expensive 3B3.
