Need Amp recommendation


Hello. I am looking for a amp recommendation to pair with my Rogue 99 Magnum preamp and Magnepan 1.6s… something in the modest range, say $400 to $500 (used) or less. Previously used a Rotel and would do so again, but feel there are better options out there.

Maggies NEED power, around 250wpc for most people. Not sure there are any good amps in your price range. You don't want to put a cheap amp on Magnepans. 

I would immediately think used Rotel as a budget option. Not sure it is likely to get a better option in that price range.

$500 or under will be tough. If you are patient and willing to stretch just a little, the Parasound A23 can be found for $600 or so. 

An Aragon 2004 will drive them just fine and can be had at your budget if you are patient as well. The issue with them is they are getting a little long in the tooth.
