Maggie 1.6QR amplification questions


Sometimes I feel as though I'm abusing all of you, but I've got so much valuable feedback from all of you out there already, it would seem a waste not to tap into when needed.

Anyway, I'm "patiently" waiting for my Magnepan 1.6QR's to come in. In the meantime, I'd like to finalize my amplification situation for these speakers. With a budget of $1500 at the most, which ss stereo amp will be the best mate for these speakers. Currently have an Anthem MCA 20 which I really like. Is this a good match already or would one of the following be better.

Odyssey Stratos with upgraded caps, used Bryston 4B-SST, PS Audio HCA 2, or your suugestions please.

Thanks so much!

Elevick...Carver "least detail"? That's subjective, and you are entitled to an opinion, but it doesn't agree with what others say or what I hear with my Maggies. However, the remark about low bass is flat out wrong. Hey: these amps are designed to drive 2 ohm loads to high levels in professional applications.
