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.

I have not heard the NAD 370 but based on its power rating it should be fine. Before getting my current 3.6R, I had the 1.6. I still use a McCormack DNA .5 (200 watts @ 4 OHMS) with no problems. I also have a McCormack Micro Power Drive (100 watts @ 4 OHMS) that powers 10.1QR with no problems.
