SET Amps and Maggies

Check out Paul Speltz and his Autoformer. Works well.

Can't beat Velo62's first hand experience for advice.

Might be worth looking into some of the new tube/mosfet hybrid amps which could deliver the the power and grip of solid state with with the spatial and tonal goodness of tubes.

Moscode 401HR would be at the top of my list. 200wpc@8 ohms, 300+wpc@4 ohms. It's getting great reviews in the press and several locals here and on Audiocircle have dropped their monster solid state amps(Bryston 4B-SST, McCormack DNA 500, BAT VK-600SE, Dodd 120, etc) for it. Tvad here on Audiogon has them.

Also, the check out the Butler 2250's or Van Alstine 550.

Or Wolcott Presence amplifiers.

Forgot about the zeros. So if I get zeros can I essentially run any SET amp I want? Do zeros degrade the sound? Will I get the same liquid effect you get from SET amps?

Tz7, you haven't told us how loud you like to play your system. I have been running a SET (Art Audio Carissa Sig) on my 3.6's for 5 months off and on. Up to a certain level, it's really sweet. After that, I have 2 other solid state amps that I switch in if I need to go "one louder". So yes, there are SET amps that can drive Maggies.
