I just upgraded my amp to a used Levinson 334 and it sounds great especially with a tubed pre-amp (ARC LS15). Check the review of the Levinson 334 in Stereophile (Sept '99). They can be had for as little as $2500. As for the power (125 wpc) they provide all I need even on my Maggie 3.6s. I've heard good things about Bryston's and Maggies (my brother recently bought a 4bst to go with his 1.6s but have not heard them - he's in Boulder, I'm in San Diego).
