Power amp recommendation


I looking for a recommendation for a power amp, new or used in the $2000 range. Something that works well between a ARC SP 3A1 and a pair of Magnepan 1.7I. I look forward to your recommendations. Thanks in advance.

Magnepan 1.7i.


Your Maggie 1.7's are a easy load for a 4ohm rated amp up to 5khz then up from there they get more difficult to drive as you can see with the falling impedance and the increase in -phase angle.

For $2k used
150w-200w Parasound and Aragon mentioned are good choices, as would be some earlier Pass Labs and Threshold amps.
