| Thought on Rotel, Arcam, Classe as Preamps I know this is long from first post but I bought the Parasound P5 2.1 and John who Mods the Maggies with his stands and x-overs told me about all the chatter among Maggies owners that the D-Class S-Sonic power amps were highly regarded. I both the... | |
| Preamp suggestion for Class d Audio sds 470c I love my d-sonic m3 1200S with 1,6 Maggie's. The sound is tube like from a class D amp at unreal price. They can't stay this cheap forever. Had bel canto Ref1000m and the d-sonics to my ears is much clearer crisp yet the mids and highs are sooooo... | |
| Acoustic Arts Power I Integrated Amp I feel the same. The looks of their entire line is beautiful, IMO. 6Moons has a review of the SS preamp I. Sounds like it would be a good match for my maggies, just when I was getting ready to let them go due to the WAF after having them a few yea... | |

It even has enough current to push a pair of magnepans 1.6's while only rated at a 40wpc amp! That tells you a lot about numbers ... | |
| Whats the best power amp $1000. for Magnepan12s? I auditioned the BAT VK-55 tubes with my ARCAM A65. It lacked in bass with the Maggies but did warm up the mids. My thought is to add the BAT VK-220 power amp then down the road add in their VK-3i preamp when money permits. | |
| Whats the best power amp $1000. for Magnepan12s? Thanks for the offer Rose- but Im leaning towards and looking for a used BAT K-220 if one can be found since it's new. Obviously Im going to have to up my budget. | |
| Whats the best power amp $1000. for Magnepan12s? Thanks to all. I will look in to each of these. I auditioned the Bel Canto Ref1000 monos. They did lower the MG12's bottom end but at a cost of $4000, too much money presntly.I appreciate the suggestions. |
