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.

As a long time Maggie owner, they need lots of current.  At your price point I am reluctant to make suggestions other than you may need a bit bigger budget to make them bloom.

I spent about 10 percent more on used amps than I spent on new Maggies.  I also use a tube pre amp and the combination is magical when you get enough power to them.  

Good Luck in your journey!!!
