Another Parasound A21 owner here. I use it on my Magnepan MMGs. It sounds terrific and as a side note, I have a much lower watt tube amp that I had used on the MMGs but did not sound quite as good as the A21. Of course, as it had been mentioned already, high current is needed. If you find a quality dual mono amp, it would sound better, since it would present less strain/demand on the amp. I heard the Musical Fidelity M6 500i integrated amp some years back and the 1.6’s would sing sweetly with that amp.
Recommendation for used Amp to power Magnepan 1.6
I am searching for a used Solid state amp to drive my Magnepan 1.6 speakers. The amp will be paired with 20 year old Sonic Frontiers tube pre-amp. Have been using 40 w tube amps. Want to keep the price below $1000.00. I am considering a Belles 150a Hot Rod amp. Not sure if it has the power to drive my 86 dB maggies.
I would appreciate any feed back.
