| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! For $2.5K, you are probably looking at stereo amps.Maggie's need a fair bit of power to show their stuff. I would buy used and get the best bang for the buck.You can score a used McCormack DNA-1 for $1k, more if it has upgrades.The nice part of Mc... | |

| mono block or bi-amps which would you pick? Zipost, I would PM Ralph Karsten (atmasphere). He builds, in my opinion, one of the finest tube amps and preamps available. He regularly contributes to Agon forums and is a source of unbiased opinion.I trust his opinions implicitly.Bob |
