Which Amp for Magnepan MG 3.6/R?

I third McIntosh. I have heard the smaller Magnepans (2.?) with a McIntosh MC202 and it was beautiful. Tireguy's dealer comments are dumb IMO. Any amp has issues with bad speaker impedance curves but there are some darn good engineers that spend their time and effort to design it so that it is stable into that low load, and that is what we are paying good money for. If all you had to do was toss transistors together, anyone would be building amps but the trick is to make them stable. When you pay thousands of dollars for an amp, it will be stable with a Magnepan load unless it is a really sucky design and some may not like McIntosh but will concede it is not a crappy design. Besides they are autoformer coupled which is a buffer to the devices so if anything, the McIntoshes will be more stable than brand x. Anyway, sorry for ranting.

There are past posts on Maggies and McIntosh where many responses support my feeling on it. Search the archives and see. McIntosh isn't the only good one of course, include Pass and Classe too IMO. Arthur

Ideally you should listen to any potential 'buy' with your speakers in your room, but a second best would be to listen to the 3.6's in a dealer's room. You don't mention how loudly you listen. That's a factor as a 3 db increase in loudness requires 2 times the power. I'm using a Bel Canto Evo2 and am quite happy with the results. Brian D. in Stereophile found the Classe CAM 350's to be a great match.
Good luck!

Think power supply and than research Simaudio Moon W-5 and Bryston 7B SST or 9B.

I would not recommend the Simaudio Moon W-5. I used it with the Maggie 3.6's and thought it had a lot to be desired.

I have owned 3 pair of 3.6's and now MG IIIA's (just sold)
but the best amp for them, from what I have owned & heard
is the Spectron D-1.
I sold the Maggies for a pair of Green Mountain C-3's, and
am selling he Spectron D-1 to buy a Spectron Musician II.

But great sound from them Maggies with that amp.
