Amp recommendations for Maggie 3.6?

the 3.6 s have ribbon tweeters. such devices can be ruthless in their presentation. i have not heard any solid state amps which i can listen to for more than 15 minutes.

i heard the wolcotts on the 3.6s earlier this year. that amp has characteristics of solid state. it is very unforgiving. if you like the razors edge, buy that amp.

if you prefer a little more forgiveness of bad recordings, look for the cj mv125. this is an amp that i want to own myself.

another possible choice, is an mfa vintage tube amp.

the classic tube sound is an excellent match with the 3.6 .
watch out for the modern tube sound and solid state.

you will get all the resolution you can handle along with the ear fatigue.

hi audiokinesis:

i have owned two different models of maggies, my friend has mg 3 and i have heard the 3.6s, numerous times, as well as the 20s and 20.1s. there is nothing warm and lush about magnepans. if anything, they tend to sound top heavy and bright and fatiguing unless integrated with the appropriate electronics.

when i heard the wolcott amps with the 3.6s, the demonstartaion was hosted by mr. wolcott himself. i trust the set up was optimal.

a ribbon tweeter is never warm and lush.
