For absolute control of the 1.6 planars a used Spectron Musician III for ~ $2000 used will control them like a big SS amp but with the mid range and highs of tubes. I am driving a pair of MG 20s with an M III Sig with beautiful results. The Bel Canto or NuForce would also work, but if you can snag a pair of M III's you will be amazed.
Can Jolida 502 drive Magnepan 1.6
I have a pair of Magnepan 1.6 and need a new Amp / pre amp. I feel the Jolida 502 satisfies my wants / desires (reasonable $ with tubes) but worry the power will be insufficient for the hungry Magnepans. Anyone out there doing this combo? Any suggestions for other components, such as Vincent Amp and ??pre-amp.
Thanks, Dan
