Magnepan 1.6 and Moscode 600s


Hi,

I am thinking of getting a moscode 600 to drive my 1.6s.
My Dynaco st-70 is clearly not enough power. A few questions,
1. do you think the moscode has enough power to run the 1.6s?
2. its a stereo amp I assume?, meaning not a monoblock?
3. I understand that the key for maggies is to be able to handle ohm drops, and I can not find info on how the watts double between 8 and 4 ohms on the moscode/
4. are there any reasons you can think of for staying away from the moscode?

sorry for all the questions, but I really don't want to buy the "wrong" amp again...

For the straight scoop, I suggest you contact George Kaye (George Kaye Audio Lab)., He designed the Moscode, or was one of the designers, and is a corporate sponsor at Audio Asylum.
You could buy a used Innersound ESL amp for about $1200 or so and you would never need more power as it would have 600 watts with the Maggies. I have heard these two together and it is very impressive with presence and dynamics to spare.
I use a Moscode 300 (150 watts rms) with a pair of Thiel 3.5's(difficult load) and, personally, I think the moscodes have B...s to the walls!, plus a great sounding amp!...call george kaye!...he will be working on mine real soon as i have just bought mine.Hope this helps
