Integrated amp recommendation for Maggie .7's
I have a 12x13 room with. 7s.  I had a Rogue Audio Sphnix which sounded good but then I upgraded to a Mod Wright KWI-200. Big step up in performance. I only occasionally feel like I miss the tube front end.  But the fullness and slam are way bette...

As alhuntmac says....the RC70s are a great find if you can get the Canadian made version .  Thats when they were made in Canada while sharing Government subsidized facilities with PSD and Paradigm   I won't repeat what was said, but I still have... 
My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000?
So many great choices.  I'd recommend Modwright.    I have a Modwright KWI-200 in one system and its made a huge improvement from the Rogue Sphnix I had, though I loved the Rogue.    Perhaps the KWI-225.  Its a Hybrid amp, with a triode preamp sec...

ERRx - Decware Since Decware ERRX was mentioned,  They can work great in the right application.  We tried the Ohms - They sounded Great - there were a couple of challenges, the Ohm team was very professional, but we ended up with the ERRx and ... 
Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k
Modwright KWI 200, If you want powerful smooth, easy on the ears.  Used with Maggie .7 in my office  
Power Conditioner: Isotek, Audioquest or other?

MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
Orchid on the way... What's life without a little risk 
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?

MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
Question for you all.  Do you think the Auralic Vega $3400 when new is a better piece of kit than the Orchid.  I ask because the LTA website says all DAC sales are final.  No 14 day trial..... I have a shot at getting a buddies Vega.  But the Orch... 
What is best sub to match with Magnepan?
I use a sealed SVS sub with my -.7s.  Blends really well.   Select the sub based on room size  and add one for each channel  
Considering Moving to an Integrated, Opinions Appreciated
I have a Modwright Kwi 200 running Maggie. 7 in a 12 x 13 room.  Upgraded from rogue Sphnix II. It was a  Game changer.  Couldn't be happier

"Good tube Integrated Amps"
How much power do you need.   Eastern Electric makes very nice products for the money.  They are built like tanks and some have many features  for tweaking the sound like my M520 25w/ch but can drive small Maggie's in a small room no problem .   B...
