Magnepan 1.6 and Moscode 600s

Hi,

I am thinking of getting a moscode 600 to drive my 1.6s.
My Dynaco st-70 is clearly not enough power. A few questions,
1. do you think the moscode has enough power to run the 1.6s?
2. its a stereo amp I assume?, meaning not a monoblock?
3. I understand that the key for maggies is to be able to handle ohm drops, and I can not find info on how the watts double between 8 and 4 ohms on the moscode/
4. are there any reasons you can think of for staying away from the moscode?

sorry for all the questions, but I really don't want to buy the "wrong" amp again...

Hi there,
I own a pair of 1.6's and drive them with a
McCormack DNA 0.5 REV B. It's 100W/CH for 8 ohm loads and
200W/CH for 4 ohms. It does sound great however I kinda
wish I had more power.(don't we all.) I'm not familiar
with the amp you speak of but if I were you I'd get a high
wattage amp that has a rep of high quality. Yeah, it's gonna
cost but the 1.6's will love you for it and you them.
