As far as solid state in your price range, you might want to consider something like a McCormack DNA 1 (100 wpc)or DNA 125 (125 wpc). Check the archives for other people's opinions on these amps. Perhaps you could introduce tubes via a preamp? Good luck and have fun.
Dynaco ST-70 and Magneplanar 1.6QR
Hi,
I just got into this with an entry level system consisting of Magnapan 1.6 and a dyna st 70. I love the sound, and they work fine together ,but I dont get enough gain out of the Dynaco. Should I be getting more?, if not, is there anything I can do, short of swithcing amps that would solve this issue?
If not , do you have any $1000 amp or less alternatives to recomend?
Very grateful for any advice in this matter.
