i had 1.6 now have 3.6...i would use the reciever as a pre-amp...and get a seperate amp to drive the maggies....amp choices from personal experience on the 1.6's if you have a large room or the speakers are far apart...100 watts and more...they love power and current...to get them to really sing......but if you get a naim nait intergrated like a nait -3 or nait-5..i used the 5 with them it was fine it put out about 55-57 watts into 4 ohm..and that was just fine and later get another amp...and have the 5 run the top end and the other on the bottem.....this is the safest way to go...there was a review on this combo in audio-musings...and other mags.
Amps and preamps for Magnepan 1.6QR
I have a Yamaha RX-V2300 receiver. the output power is 110W per channel. The sales man at Maggie dealer said that i might need an AMP or Preamp to boost the maggie 1.6QR.
Could anyone help me suggest which amp and preamps would work with my receiver. Or am i actually doing fine with my receiver.
My budget is around $1500 for both amp and preamps.
