Naim and Magnepan

Thanks guys.
Sogood51: Im looking at a used pair of 1.6s so a dealer demo is out.

Fatparrot: Look what I found!

Read Victor's review. That little Nait got some set of balls! :^)
I've heard everything from people using SET amps as well as Fatparrots amp in driving Maggies. Im sure many variables are involved in just how much they need.

Thanks again guys

The Nait5 struggled with a ProAc Studio 125 (sounded thin with anemic bass). I've gotta believe that Maggies are a tougher load than the ProAcs, no?

i have a pair of SMG-A's and drive them with a Nap 140/NAC 92 and just love the sound...granted my listening area is small but i used to go from amp to amp and speaker to speaker now with this realized combination i no longer seek for that elusive sound...i finally found it...

1.6s while not a pure resistive load, do not have wacky reactance peaks and are therefore not a 'bad' load.
Try the Naim? If you do, please post back.
If not pushed, it should work fine.....and don't try to fill a huge space with sound, either.
