Anyone tried Magnepan 1.6's with rock music?
Rock music on Maggies is like any other music, garbage in, garbage out. Poorly recorded and mixed recordings will be painfully revealed in any genra on these outstanding but extreemly revealing speakers. Set up properly and fed with good upstream ...

Budget amps that can hold their own.
ADCOM 555II can be found here or on eBAY for $300-$400. A Nelson Pass design, 200 watts into 8 ohms, High currant , built like a tank and best of all sounds very nice with a tube front end. Not the last word, but very respectable for the bucks.
