Which Amp for Magnepan MG 3.6/R?

OK, I am about to buy the 3.6's and I currently have my 1.6qr's amp-ed with a Parasound Halo A21. I was considering a Bryston 14Bsst for the 3.6r's, but a friend had me convinced to go to the Bel Canto eVo 4 Gen II. I have not seen any mention of that amp here. Is there a reason? Any comments??

I'd try the Bel Canto you are talking about. I read the specs and looks like it has plenty of high current and power for the 3.6s.
Never heard a Bel Canto amp, but suspect it will be more musical than the Bryston from all the reports.

I have been hanging around with these speakers for some time. So when it came to putting together a second system It was hard not to buy maggies. The system is for a lake house, music only and will see light use. But as you all know when you are bitten by this audio thing it is hard to justify "just getting by" any time it comes to buying this stuff. So with that in mind and within reason could I find the right combination? So, I experimented. Here is my setup:

MG 3.6/R
Siltech LS-80 Bi-wire Speaker Cable with WBT-0645 banana
Kimber KS1030 interconnects
Siltech SPO-12MF power cables on all electronics
Richard Gray RGPC 600S
Shanling CD T-100 CD Player with Parts ConneXion mod
Rotel RB-1090 Power Amp

I do not need a pre amp with this setup. The Shanling can go analog out right into the AMP. The only challenge in this system was the AMP. My main system uses Krell 350 monos. So putting in the Rotel was cost driven and my neighbor would just not let up about how good this amp was for around 2k. It has enough power at 4ohms but could it deliver?

I was shocked. Yes the Krell's are better and more musical but if I never heard them I would not know what I would be missing with the Rotel. The difference is noticeable on specific recordings I am familiar with but if you blind folded me and selected music I have not heard on my system, it would be hard for me to know which amp was being used.

in my opinion any one who is considering buying maggies of any style should consider the following:

The best copper speaker cable you can afford
WBT connectors
Kimber selects (all copper)
Power cables with Richard Gray power conditioner
Any highly rated source (in my opinion tube)
POWER-POWER-POWER 300w or greater (used bryston,Krell ect)or in my case new Rotel.

The system costs were under 8K. The price I paid retail for my original Krell purchase. This system may not be for everyone but I have listened to systems costing 4 and 5 times as much and I don’t think to myself “WOW what am I missing” , Instead I just smile and say nice and then go home put on Natasha Atlas (Something Dangerous) and say "SWEET".

I have recently added the discontinued M&K MX-200 MK II sub $600 from a dealer out of business sale for those summer parties when everyone likes it LOUD AND LOUD.

I'm driving my 3.6's with a Bel Canto Evo4, Accuphase DP 55V front end and a Mac c-46. The system sounds great but I have recently experienced some mechanical hum from the Bel Canto. It is being taken care of now and being upgradeddto a gen II.

Assuming the hum goes away, it's hard to imagine any amp sounding better! I've tried quite a few. I'm thinking of upgrading my Kimber 8TC cables and maybe adding a DAC

I'm using the Innersound esl amp to drive 1.6's and absolutely love the sound. Another amp that I used before didn't have the power to open up the 1.6's, but once the Innersound esl amp was substituted, the maggies woke up with incredible dynamics. Althought I haven't heard the Innersound mono amps, here is a review that was used with the 3.6's. http://www.ultraaudio.com/equipment/innersound_esl_800.htm
Good luck in your search.
