Suggestions for 220v amp


Hello all,

I am spending some time living in belgium and I am hoping to pick up a pair of Maggie 1.6s next month and a nice amp or integrated amp for them. Problem is, of course, the 220v power.

I really like Krell amps and would be getting a 300i/il if I could choose, but as far as I know they don't make a 220v version.

So any suggestions for something like the Krells in the 1500.00 range that comes in a 220v version??

Thanks all,
Nathan

There are 230 volt version for Krell, McIntosh, Mark Levinson, Bryston , and nearly every other US-amp you can think of. Problm is, the prices in Europe are outrageous for US-gear. Example: A McIntosh C2200 tube preamp costs 4500 $ in the US, but 7900 Euro = $ in Germany. In your place, I'd buy the Krell, or a McIntosh MA6500 or 6900 integrated and get it rewired at McIntosh or at www.audioclassics.com. Or buy a transformer. There is a thread, if not several, in the Audiogon-archive, ob dealing with European power etc.
