Feeding Maggie


Medium sized room(12'x30'x81/2') drywall,curtains,upholstered furniture,rugs over hard wood.
Classical(including jazz) at live performance amplitude.
What integrated amps would you feed a pair of Magnepan1.6qr's? Are there any you would not use?
I know,seperates are better,but money is an object.

thanks

I bi-amp my Maggie 2c's with one Fisher 800 Receiver per side. The Fishers have had the pre and amp sections seperated at the processor loop, one does double duty of preamping and amping while the other just has to amp. These can be picked up for $200 ea, gone over by a tech and have the amp/preamp seperated for another 120-180, while a new set of output tubes if needed cost $80. The pleasure of bi amping, seperate dual mono transformers, and 64 RMS of tube power per channel make this an unbeatable sub $800 setup. Email me at ScrabblExecution@aol.com with comments.
