Magnepan 1.6QR and Bel Canto


Can someone please relate their experiences with Magnepan 1.6QR and Bel Canto amps? I recently purchased two Bel Canto M300 monoblocks. A friend/dealer wants to lend me a pair of new 1.6s for a week. Before I do so, I wanted to gather some other opinions. Thanks!

If you borrow a set of Maggies 1.6QRs, make sure they've gone through a reasonable break in at the dealers. If not you will not get an accurate audition of the amp or the speakers. The 1.6s are terrific speakers but they take a while to settle in,.... weeks in some cases.
