Magtech Amplifier

That's a great review, Kiwi_1282001.

Thanks Drubin -- its a great amplifier!

The Magtech is a superb amp, and not just for the money. I have two of them, driving the woofers and the panels of my Sanders 10c. I've owned many amps over the years, some much more expensive and both tube and solid state (e.g. VAC, Ayre MX-R). The Magtech is the best compromise of sonics, stability, efficiency, and cost that I know.

Just looking for some comments on this amp.
I have the stereo version, running Magnepan 3.7's.Works great , but at higher volume it runs very hot.
You can't hold your hand on it hot.
Others who have this unit finding the same thing?

Carl...you might want to give Roger a call or email. Mine never ran hot to the touch and I was driving Martin Logan CLSIIA's and Maggie 3.6's. Mine was well ventilated.

I may have to...The first one I bought died shortly after I got it, and he just sent me a new one. Great service. Apparently a part on a board was too close to something and they redesigned the layout to solve the issue.
He did say that 3.7's, indeed all jaggies, are very power hungry. And i do like to crank the volume ...just worries me when I see all the comments about the amp running cool...
Just got a used Ref 3 to drive it, and naturally it sounds better so the tendency is louder still..))
Thanks for the feedback...
