I would like some feedback on a int. amp
Just another vote for the Pathos Classic One. I'm using two of them with Sonus Faber speakers. A great combo. They are fine integrateds. Highly recommended.

Need contact info for Aronov
I have Aronov amps in one of my systems. But I beleve they are out of business and very hard to reach. Hopefully, someone will be able to give you some information. They were operating from Los Angeles, but old info is useless now. good luck! rudge 
Cary 500 mono blocks
I had the cary 500s with magnepan 3.5's and they did a great job. They are certainly powerful enough to drive your maggies. Good amps. rudge 
Pathos or ...
I own two of the Pathos integrated in bridged mode with Sonus Faber speakers. I am very happy wiht them. If you like the Pathos get them. They have a very good sound for the money, especially in bridged mode. rudge 
Amp for Sonus Faber speakers
I am using two Pathos integrateds with the concerto domus and they sound great. The midrange is outstanding. The Sonus Faber aren't power hungry. I just like the Pathos so much, I thought two would be better than one. I have heard my speakers with... 
Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento's
Take a look at Pathos. I am using their classic ones in bridged mode with the concerto domus. They work very well. I imagine they would work well with any sonus faber speaker. 
Pass Labs vs. Cary
I now own the cary 500's. I've had then since last spring. They replaced my Cary slam 100's that I had for ten years. The 500's are very close to tubes without the bother. They will drive just about any speaker. Although I am using them with a VTL... 
Best SS amps with sound similar to tube amps
I have stated several times that the cary 500s sound very similar to the cary slam 100s that I replaced them with. I have had them for almost a year now and are very happy with them. Full rich sound and no tubes to worry about. 
Anyone heard the new Cary CAD-500MB monos ?
There is a review in a recent issue of "inner ear" magazine you may find helpful. It's a very positive review. Its either this months or last months. I hope you can find it. I am still very happy with mine and will be buying some 3.6's to upgrade ...

Opinions on deHavilland Mercury 2
I also have a Mercury 1. I've had it for several months and think its great. It does image very well and helps project a huge soundstage. I have it in my main system and have moved my Bat vk5i upstairs. It's one "musical" piece of equipment. Give ...
