New Maggie Owner; What amp????

Dear fellow Audiots and audiomaniacs,
I just bought my first set of Magnepan/Magneplanar 1.6qr. I need to buy a good integrated amp. My budget is $1200. How much power do I need? Also, will the Audio Refinement Complete be enough power for the Maggie 1.6's. Thank you and best regards - hififile (Bennett)

I have used these speakers with a Krell KSA100MkII this amp sounds like a tube amp but as mentioned elswhere in this post is a fast amp with a lot of bottom end. There was great synergy in this combo. I have seen it used on Audiogon for $1600-$2000. Good luck and enjoy.

I'm a Bryston fan by far and run 7B's with my Martin Logan's. A 4B ST amp would work well for your sonically and budget wise. Good Luck...

Hello My company deals the audio refinement while it is a great Integre It is not enough power to drive any Magnaplanar You need a very fast high current amplifier with 120 or better for 1.6 you should try the nad C370 It uses the same design in the amp section as the wonderful 218thx but with less power Thanks David
