What fits well with Magnepans?


I just bought a set of 1.6QR's and was thinking about a
Bat V3i preamp
Mccormack DNA 125 or Pass Labs 150 amp
Ayer or Bryston cd player

Are these good choices, or is there something that blows these away and what do you use?

Find a used Innersound ESL amp. It's a great match for your speakers, look up some of the reviews. I used one with both 1.6qrs and 3.6R's and it's a rocking amp.

Also, not easy to find but the Parasound 3500 (or a 2200) is a great powerful amp for Maggies.

Blow off the CD/DVD player and buy a good usb DAC to decode from a Duet/AppleTV or just your computer, you won't be sorry.
Oh yeah I forgot to add, I have not heard them, but I understand the Wyred4Sound and ICE H2O amps are both great matches as well.
had mg12s before with mccormack dna 0.5 rev A. Nope, didnt quiet cut.
if you can tubes, suggest you look at audio research vs110.
For s/s one of the best combo is the Bel Canto Ref 1000 monoblocks.
Maggie loves power. The more the merrier.
I use a PS Audio GCC250 to great effect. Effortless power and huge dynamics.
My Maggies are the 1.6s....and formerly a pair of MG-1s which I had for over 20 years.....I am not an equipment changing guy.
Bryston is supposed to be good.
I tried a Krell 400xi integrated and it ran WARM after about 30 or 40 minutes. Sounded only OK.
