Maggie Fans Chime in: Need recommendation for amp to drive Maggies (MMGs and 1.7i)


Hi All,

I blew up my work horse amp (Anthem MCA 20) and need recommendations for an amplifier which will drive my 1.7i's. I listen to a lot of Jazz, Funk, some EDM, rock, and occasionally classical. My budget is < $1000. I am happy with used gear from here or other markets. Looking for something reliable and rock solid. 

Any thoughts from Y'all Maggie fans is much appreciated.

At a hair over a Grand - you should be able to get your hands on a Brand-New Emotiva XPA-2 Gen-3 (2-Channel, Modular Amp)
One of our local HiFi shops recommends them highly for driving Maggies

$1049 plus shipping Direct

For a bit less, you might be able to find a USED XPA-2 Gen-2

People have also had GREAT things to say about Emotiva PA-1 Monoblock Class-D Amps (these are based on a high-current version of the B&O ICE Modules)  You can pick-up a Pair (One for each channel / each speaker) for about $650 total.
