Magnepan 1.7 i - Amp suggestions

Dear Amigos !

Once again thank you for all your Help last time helping me to decide on some Speakers ! Very valuable !

I finally did get the Magnepan´s 1.7. With the kind help from Peru´s Magnepan Distributor I had them built at the Magnepan Factory and shipped directly to Santiago, CHILE.

They are sitting in my music room !!

Now I need to put them into working status...very eager !

Could you please help me with some Amp alternatives ? to drive them .

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,

Robert

Bryston makes some very nice equipment... And has models with the power you need.

Had the 1.7s...loved them... So did my wife... But moved and space and config changed. You truly do need lots of good power. I ran them very nicely with a higher power musical fidelity and BAT integrated. Respectfully, I would not do a Primaluna integrated... Great stuff and great sounding (I had the monoblocks).. But not enough power in my opinion.

If I were to do it today... I would Def consider the ps audio M700 monoblocks... If not those... Some very powerful tube amp (generally more expensive)... or a nice solid state amp/integrated. (yes a hybrid OK too... I liked the pharaoh). 

Don’t be fooled that the power is only necessary to listen at high volume... Not so... You need an amp to drive those with authority... To get the best out of them.
