Ok, some of you suggested Magnepan 1.6QR

I have used the 1.6 with the VAC 30/30, Classe CAP-100, Classe CA300, Sim Moon I-5, VAC integrated, Magnum MD-208 and the Audio Research 100.2.....and the speaker is just superb with them all.

TRY A SPECTRAL AMP IT IS LIKE A RACE CAR AND HAS ALOT OF CURRENT WILL HAVE THE MAGGIES DANCING OFF THE FLOOR.

What is your preference amongst the listed amps, if you have to pick only one?

Nachtmusik, I will try to answer your question...I need to think a bit first....so much of each system is based on a combination of components and cables..

Nachtmusik, I had used all of the above amps & integrateds with different source components and wires..for the most part., So this memory rating is far from a "blind A/B" test. Anyway, the ARC 100.2, Vac Avatar..and Cap-100...might fall in that order. I believe the CAP-100 rates a bit higher than it might in some systems, because it was being used with a CDP-1 and Wireworld Gold Eclipse III wire...and those likely had big impact on that system being a sweet as it was. I think the Magnum MD-208 might be as good with the Maggies...but I have used it with lesser wires..and cd players...
