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

The Wolcotts pretty much ruled, by a wide margin with my old maggie 1.6's. Whatever you do, make sure it is a tube amp. To me maggies sound much much better with tubes.
I would get a conrad-johnson cav-50 if I were you. I drove mine with an old mv-50 for awhile, and it was a great combination. In fact the guy who bought my maggies later bought my mv-50 ! The amp is only 45w, but had significantly more powerful bass with the maggies than my 100w ARC vt100m2.
