What amplifier for Magneplanar MG3 for less than ?

I am searching for the right amp to give me excellent staging. I listen mainly to jazz, classical and some popular music at moderate to low volumes. I am currently using a Bryston 4B. I have a YS Audio Symphonies + preamplifier and a YS Audio Concerto line amp. I have an Oracle Premier with a Rega 600 tone arm and a Grado Sonata Reference Cartridge. I also have a Meridian 507 CD player and silver wire interconnects. There are so many amplifiers to chose from and I would like to spend $3K or less.

How about a used Spectron Musician II. This should do the trick . Or maybe a New Carver ZR series digital amplifier..then you can take the rest of the money you saved and spend it on other audio toys.

Good Luck!

Gmood1...Thanks for doing the ZR comment. I was beginning to sound like a broken record.

Try a powerful (200 W, at least) Threshold designed by Nelson Pass. I had 2 pairs of MGs and I know that the couple Magneplanar/Threshold sound very well.

How would a pair of Rowland Model 10 balanced do on this setup? Peter
