I think both of these amps would do a nice job (but a 4B-ST would do better...). You could always get a Plinius integrated that would negate needing a preamp...
Plinius 8200P or Bryston 3B-SST for Maggie 1.6 QRs
The only thing I have now is the Music Hall CD-25 player and I am planing on getting a pair of Maggies 1.6 QR.
Both price and the power rating are close. Bryston has a way longer warrantee, but I don't think the Plinius will die very soon anyway.
Has anyone try A/B these 2 amps with the 1.6 or other speakers and how do they compare?
I listen to pretty much everything, but Heavy metal and Rap.
I would really appreciate any suggestion regarding these two amp. with the maggie or in general
Also any suggestion on the preamp to go along with either amps? I only have 2-300 left after the amp.
Is the foreplay (bottleneck) that good? I have seen a rave review. If it's that good could someone give me some idea about what product level it can compete too?
Thanks a lot,
Ake
PS I know the CD-25 may become my weakest link if I get this set up that the upgrade is possible in near future.
Also I have done a lot of searching on AG before asking this question, but just wanna hear more about it. It's probably impossible to audition them before getting ones.
