Compatibility of Cary SLI-100 with ProAc? Magnepan?


Looking at the SLI-100 or the SLI-80. I have ProAc 2.5s and would like to get some Maggies. 

My Music Reference and ProAcs do not sound good together IMO. There is a peak in the highs, maybe combining two pieces with emphasized high end?

Anybody experienced the SLI-100 with either ProAcs (any model) or Maggies?

Thanks
Jim

@river251   I think it's doubtful that you'll find your ideal amp that will drive Proac and Magnepan equally well.

If you're keeping the Response 2.5's that's one thing, if you're changing over to Maggies that's entirely different.

For many years, I drove Response 2.5's with a Cary SET 300B 12-watt amp.  The results were delightful.  This was when Dennis Had was still with the company, and when they were still using real 300Bs.  The combo had his blessing, and it showed.
