Integrated for Maggie MMG's

Additional info: Small room(approx 12'x16'), digital only for now-phono not necessary.

Oscilb, cannot comment on the MMG's, but I purchased a NAD 317 and love it. Great little integrated that has plenty of power for my PSB Stratus Bronze speakers...in a large room. I downsized from seperates and tube gear to take a break and save some money. I enjoy the NAD so much I think I am going to keep it forever and put some money into my home theater setup. NAD has their priorities right -- they focus on the music -- although, the 317 looks great, and has a nice remote. I have heard the Maggie's are very revealing and crave power, IMHO the 317 would work great. You won't need to biamp using the 214. Good luck and let me know how you like the MMG's.

You might want to consider an Audiolab 8000S (full retail $1,095) now being closed out at $549 new if Artech Electronics has any left. Audiolab was acquired by Tag McLaren and no longer exists but this amp was current until about a year ago and was very highly thought of at full retail. Might lean towards the analytical, but with the left over $200 you could buy a used Cardas Golden power cord. I use an older 8000A (about 12 years old so reliability should not be a problem!) with a Cardas Golden cord and it really transforms the amp in my opinion. I think you'd have to spend alot more to get not much more performance.
