In need of an amplifier...


Just sold a pair on Nemo monoblocks that powered a pair of Magnepan 3.6r's. I was going to sell them as well, but I just don't think I can part with them. Considering Class D amps as I don't want anything to physically large. Maybe also a stereo Bryston or McCormack? Not interested in tube amps. I have a Modwright LS 36.5 Preamp. My room is 16 x 28 but I dont really listen to LOUD music. Jazz, Vocal, NuJazz, Fusion, some 70's rock etc. Maybe 86db max 88db. Any thoughts out there? I'd really appreciate it!

These have a lot of pluses they very small and have lots of power at a fairly affordable price point. However they do have the class D type sound so if possible I would suggest you take a listen before you buy.

I heard these with Maggie 3.6's and thought they did a marvelous job with them. Maggies like power and these little guys have plenty of it.
