Is it too mismatched to pair Maggie 1.6 & NAD 370?


Hi,
I am thinking about getting a pair of Maggie 1.6s. I just order Music Hall CD-25 and in process of looking for a good amp to match them.

Would it be too mismatched to pair these Maggies with a NAD C370? Intergrated amp? The power of this amp seems to be enough for them, but I am not sure about the musical quality of the amp.

If it s a bad idea, could someone suggest a good matched amp for this system? I probably can afford around $500 to $1000 (the cheaper the better.). Either new or used is OK with me.
Is Bryston B60 too underpowered for them?

Thanks a lot.

While the NAD C370 lacks the snob appeal to satisfy many or most that post here, it is actually a fine amp. In addition, you can add a matching C270 power amp in order to biamp. This combination should do a great job of driving Maggie 1.6's. You can easily get a C370 within your budget and you can see if this satisfies you before buying the C270.
