Best Cheap Amps for Magneplanar Speakers

@puiu

You've listed some very nice amps, but the ones in your list that meets the OP's budget (under $1,000) are the Rega Exxon 3's.

Indeed, sorry about that. McCormack DNA125s can be found sometimes at $1000, as well as old, unmodified, non-upgraded DNA.5s. As a side note, I find those both to be vastly superior to a Bryson 3B in my experience, with the exception of SST generation on up.

Outlaw M200 or M2200 monoblocks are excellent and relatively inexpensive.  You'll be hard-pressed to find better transistorized amps for under $1k.  At 200-300 wpc they are all the power your Maggies need and want, they are quite transparent, and they are very natural sounding.

So what cheap amp did you buy????????

Yea Randy 11, you start a thread and don't even tell everyone what cheap amp you wound up with, whats the deal there?
