Think of buying a Magnepan Surround Setup


Hi Everyone-- I've auditioned a lot of speakers over the last couple months (PSB, Viena, B&W, KEF, and Maggies) and really feel no one comes close to the Mag 1.6s w/with c2 center and mgc's1 in the rear. However I'm worried about feeding these babies anough power without breaking the bank. I have a great deal on a Denon4802 (1500)-- what are your opinions about this combination? Another option in the price range is the Outlaw 950/770 combo for about another 1000 (2500). First, what are other folks experiences with specific AV/receivers w/ built in amp (perhaps denon). Second, for under 2500 what controllers/amp combos should be on my short list.

thanks!

I do not know how much power those amps have but Maggies need at least 100 watts and really sound the best with around 300 or more watts with lots of current.
