More power would with out a doubt would help you, I would suggest looking into the new Parasound JC-1 amps(with a budget)- though I haven't had these amps on my 3.6's I can't imagine it would be anything less then amazing. Or with out a budget I would go for the Tenor hybrid 300 mono's- which is what I am saving for right now. Also since your speakers just showed up I would give them a chance to break in(a real long time if they are new) and play with room placement, it took me about 3 months of toying with location to get them right. I have found room treatment can be very helpful I am playing with tuned helmholtz resonators(3-4 of them), also cables and your front end are very very important with these speakers. Also when/if you become comfortable with it doing the fuse bypass does amazing things to the sound, then do some custom stands/frames and new crossovers and you'll have a speaker that is capable of running with the big boys! You have a great foundation to a superb system- enjoy!
MarkLevinson331 BiAmp or Jeff Rowland 7 for MG3,6R
My system includes Mark Levinson 26 pre-amp and 331 power amp to drive my new Magnepan 3.6R (Just arrived few days ago), it sounds wonderful on mid and high, a bit shy on the bass.
I am thinking of buying another used 331 and a Bryston 10B for bi-amp configuration
or
sell my 331 and get a used Rowland model 7 (unbalanced RCA IN) to drive the Maggies.
I listen to all kind of music, my listening room size is 22X35X10. Any advise would be most appreciated, Thanks.
