need amp for Prima Luna Prologue 3 preamp

Hi everyone, I have recently purchased a Prima Luna Prologue 3 preamp and would like to pair it up with a 250 wpc solid state amp to use with my Magnepan MMG's.

The MMG's will be upgraded to the 1.7 in due time. I recently sold a Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated Amp 250 wpc which mated well with the maggies but I wanted a little more warmth in the top end, so back to separates.

So far I've only considered the McCormack DNA-250 SS amp. My budget is no more then $2,500.00

Would appreciate any advice.

Thank you for the response. I would think $2,500.00 on the used market would get me something decent. I never did care for the Mac equipment and while class D sounds tempting I don't believe it's for me either.

The information I was looking for was an amp that would match up well with the Prima Luna.

I wanted to see if there are other choices, I guess not.

Tomcy6, thank you very much for your suggestions, it is very helpful. I am currently looking at a new McCormack DNA-250 which happens to be 100 kOhms input and is for sale, New, on Audiogon by Spearit Audio.

My only concern is that I was told by Spearit that it has a warmer sound to it and I'm afraid it might be a little to warm with the Prima Luna. On the other hand, it might be just what I need for the pans.

It very confusing when you have no way to hear what you want to buy. I will have to go with my gut felling on this one.

You are probably right about the McCormack DNA-250, It looks like I'm headed in that direction. I hope to purchase it buy the end of this week..

I would love to have a retailer near my home to listen/buy like the old day's.

Thank you very much for your input..
