Can DK design MKII drive the Magenapan MG1.6 well?

Maggies like lots of current. If the power rating (watts) of the DK doubles from 8 to 4 OHM this would suggest it would do well with Maggies in general.

I used to own 1.6s and drove them with a Plinius SA 100 MKIII amp that had 100 watts and it drove them much better than a Plinius 8200 integrated that had 175 watts because the SA 100 is a true class A design with lots of current.

Thank you very much! DK MKII has 150 Watts for 8 ohms and 300 Watts for 4 ohmes. It is claimed that it's a pure class A design. Hope it work great with Maggie.

Hi, Artmaltman, just read your 25-page review about DK MKII. Very good job! Thanks a lot!

I'm sure the DK will be a good match, but according to some the DK is NOT a true class A design. I doubt it, myself, because the amp runs pretty cool. How many 150 watt pure class A amp do you know that is barely warm to the touch? I know of none. DK is not forthcomming about their reasoning behind their class A claim.

I doubt that the DK is pure Class A as well. Their specs are very criptic (much like YBA/Audio Refinement). As with the YBA/Audio Refinement gear (as well as all other gear) I think that the DK should be auditioned at home with your speakers to know if it works well. The DK stuff catchs hell hear in the forums by... lets not call them pretentious... well-meaning audiophiles with deeper pockets and more deep-seated predjudices than most. However, my untrained ear found the DK integrated to be very enjoyable to listen to.
