In need of an amplifier...

I've used the TAD Hibachi monos with MMGs (as well as some other speakers) and can recommend the pairing. Very compact and lightweight package, very good sound (notably warm for SS), very good value, very silly name.

I am running 2 Ayre V-3s in a horizontal biamp config. to Legacy Focus 20/20s. My pre is a custom tweeked ModWright LS/PS 36.5 dual chassis pre. The combo is terrific! You can probably do a pair of used V-3s and stay within your budget. Amps are about the size of the newer V5-xes.

I've read several posts of people having great success with the PS Audio GCC and GCA amps and Maggies. I couldn't be happier with my GCC mated to a pair of Usher X-718's.

How about Modwright's new 150 power amp???

These have a lot of pluses they very small and have lots of power at a fairly affordable price point. However they do have the class D type sound so if possible I would suggest you take a listen before you buy.

I heard these with Maggie 3.6's and thought they did a marvelous job with them. Maggies like power and these little guys have plenty of it.
