Magnepan 1.7 driven by Bel Canto REF1000 MkII and I couldn't be more pleased. The speakers are just getting broken in but the performance has been superior from the first play. This combination has been very revealing in a DAC comparison currently underway. The class D Bel Cantos and 1.7s are a very good match. I haven't heard the W4S amps but class D does work with magnepans in my experience. Good Luck!
Wyred4sound STI - 500 for Magnepan speakers
Has anyone heard the Wyred4sound STI - 500 used with Magnepan speakers?
I have listened to a Krell s300i with Maggie 1.2's and thought that the 300 wpc into 4 ohms was a big improvement over my Macintosh MA 6300 at 160 wpc into 4 ohms.
However, the Krell is $2500 and the STI - 500 would be "only" $1995 but with 500 wpc into 4 ohms.
It seems people either like class D or they don't and I was wondering what drives them to which camp.
