Maggie 3.6 and Counterpoint NP-220

Is anyone using or have used this combo? I'm close to getting some 3.6's and am wondering if my NP-220 will be enough power. It's currently running my 1.6's and sounds really good. Any input appreciated.

Thanks,
Danton

Your preamp could be clearer, I need more space, I need, I need, I need,

I ran Maggie 3.5 with the Counterpoint NPS400 for a couple years. This amp has the same power rating as the SA20/220 and NP220 amps. The amp performed incredibly well with the Maggies. There was never an issue of the sound being constarined. The Wolcotts that replaced the Counterpoint brought on a new level of dimensionality and bloom but at twice the cost....otherwise there was not a huge performance improvement here. Overall I would say the Counterpoint is the very best value amp for these speakers and I tried many ARC tubes amps here as well.

Well now that I have had a chance to hear this combo for myself I can say the NP-220 is powerful enough to drive the 3.6's very well. I have no complaints at all. Again I think two 220's mono would be even better but for now the audio bug in me is pleased...
