Magnepan 3.7i amp pairing

Hi folks,

I’m on the verge of springing for Magnepan 3.7i, despite their drawbacks: power-hungry; hard to place off the wall; size; etc.  

I listened to them via Rogue Audio monoblocks, which I can’t afford, but I’m being told that the Rogue Audio DragoN Amp and Rogue RP-5 v.2 pre-amp is a sufficient combination to drive the 3.7s.  No doubt my current Rotel 1572 integrated amp is not enough.  Will probably add, later, two subwoofers beyond the current JL Audio 110, perhaps RELs.

 

Thoughts, when time allows?

Many thanks,

paul

Also, I'm using a pair of rel t5's that work well with the Maggies.

+1 on the rels. I added t7s with my diptyque ribbon speakers and they really came alive.

Perhaps a s/h Pass Labs X250.8 might fit the budget. I happen to use Pass Labs X260.8 monoblocks with my 3.7i’s and they are great, but I have trialled the X250.8 and it was very good as well

I am using the PS Audio BHK 300 monoblocks with my 20.7s and also used them with my 3.7s.  Used price should be around $6500.  They are fantastic.

Never but never use subwoofers with magnepan only the dwm panels from magnepan . You must use a power amp like krell the ksa 250, cello duet,viola thats kind of stuff. Never tubes!!
