Driving Magnaplanars is easy. If there are any doubts about a tube amp being able to do it, a set of ZEROs http://www.zeroimpedance.com to help out will do the trick.
good tube amp match for maggie 1.7's?
Has anyone done comparison of the Maggie 1.7's or 1.6's with different tube amps and found one that stands out under $3K?
Current system
source: digital, PC/ HRT Streamer II USB DAC Foobar with Kernel Streaming
analog, Sota Sapphire, Rega 300 arm, Grado Platinum
pre: CJ PV-10A
amp: Hafler DH-200, Musical Concepts signature mod, PA-2D
considering a Rogue 88. Harmonic accuracy and tonal solidity are what I care about. The Hafler is good for sound stage and transients but its basically a watercolor and I want oils for my sonic canvas
