Magnus MA-200

i decided to go with an ayre v 6xe power amp.

Nice system.    All I can say is that the amp sounds great in mine.  I put it on an isolation platform with a beefy power cord.  YMMV

i would be using it with a dehavilland ultraverve 3 preamp and usher dancer mini 2 dmd speakers.

It’s Class A for all 100w/channel. Runs hot. Higher electricity bills. The binding posts are at least 3 way. I use bare wire. My system includes a Response Audio BellaMax tube preamp and Acoustic Zen Adagio speakers.  The newer model MA-260 runs Class A for the first 45w/channel.  Much less heat.   Sounds different.

steakster, what's the rest of your system? how hot does this puppy run?
have any problems using spades on the binding posts?

I just bought one (Magnus Audio MA-200).  Talk about flying under the radar!  If I didn’t know better, I would think that I was listening to my pricey triode tube monoblocks. It doesn’t have the soundstage depth, but it has everything else.   I have no idea why Canary/Magnus Audio discontinued this model. It sure sounds great in my system.  Bought it from JM Sound.  Very satisfied customer.

I have the Magnus MA-300, and it is an outstanding amp that replaced a Burmester 911 MK3 and a Hegel H4SE. I am upgrading my cap board to the new MA-500 board. Canary/ Magnus Audio does not advertise, hence very few reviews. However, there will be a very good review from Dagogo very soon. I can't recommend Magnus more highly. I am a customer not a dealer.
