What is best amp for Maggie 3.6R

Consider biamping. That's where the real Maggie magic is!

I am using PS Audio GCA 250 (mod by Underwood HiFi) on the ribbons and a BVAudio (no longer in biz) on the bass panels. Best to use identical amps, but this is what I had on hand and the BV is a great amp. You then eliminate the passive xover and get a Berhinger or DBX... inexpensive xover.

Classe CAM-350. Absolutely no question about it. I have heard that combination at a local dealer and I almost bought the Maggie because of that.

What a great thread! I had experience with a few of these. I tried the Classe', owned the McIntosh 275 Tube amp, but tried a pair of 275's, and finally landed on the McIntosh MC402.

The 402 provided deeper, more detailed bass performance and in my system sounded better. I did not hear the Musical Fidelity so no comment there. I also had an Audio research solid state unit a while back. I still like the mcIntosh the best in my system.

Salc,
You raise a very interesting and important question, "what is the BEST amplifier for Maggie 3.6R's" and any other speaker for that matter? The responses to your thread reveal that owners use: Spectron Musician, Bryston 7BST, McIntosh MC275V's, Cary V12's, PS Audio, Classe CAM 350's and McIntosh 402's. I personally use Electrocompaniet Nemo Monoblocks and my friend uses McIntosh and sometimes Art Audio tubes and Bedini. A quick search of the Virtual Systems shows that 3.6 owners also use: Wolcott, Audio Research VT100's, VT200's an110.2's, Parasound JC1's, ML 334, DK Design, Innersound, Classe, Plinius and Krell just to name a few. So I guess the answer your question is, there is no BEST amplifier, just one that let's you enjoy the music and a purchase that you are happy with. My personal opinion is that I think a lot of equipment will work well with each other more then most Audiophiles and Audiogoners believe. Except for any technical limitations of course. Either we’re all right, or most of us are wrong!
Good luck with your search.
