Magnepan 3.7i Amplifiers Aesthetix or Modwright? Thoughts?


Have a McIntosh MC-602 amplifier running them now, looking to up the game.  I currently have an Aesthetix Rhea Signature and Calypso Signature, so naturally looking at the Atlas Signature.  The Modwright KW-150SE running as a monoblock via a bridged config though sounds compelling.  Obviously, I would need to demo these.  Question:  Who's got experience with either of these running tough 4ohm loads?  Maggies want serious current, and both of these probably would fit the bill.  My guess the Modwrights may be a bit more airy, which is great, but looking for better control of the bass from 100 down.  Any experience or thoughts shared would be most appreciated!   Thanks!

Up the game from a Mac 602? Differences yes, up the game... not so sure, at this level things are different not better going from 602 to a Modwright 150se??? moving backwards imo. I would look at the pre amp to tune your systems sound as well as cables...Keep the MAC!

I have an Aesthetix Atlas and Calypso. They are a great match together and my system has never sounded better with the addition of the Atlas. 

Great grip and control on the bottom with a sweet, but detailed and articulate top.
What did you have before amplification-wise and are you currently running the 3.7i?  
@73cuttysupreme,

I was using Quicksilver V4 amps. I currently use Proac speakers. You can see my system which is posted on Audiogon.
The higher impedance in the Atlas
monos with your Caylipso will seem more alive then either. Add to that you can also activate the variable built in high pass within the Aesthetix will help you adjust
the bass till it's just right for that room great amps
