Best Integrated Amp for Maggies MG12


Am new to high-end audio and am considering to get myself a magnepan MG12s. I would like suggestions for a integrated Amp to drive the MG12s. Looking to spend atmost $1000 on a 2nd hand unit. I have been myself considering the Bryston B-60R and the Creek Audio 5350SE.

thx

I'm in a similar boat here, so I'll bump this thread.

My budget extends up to $1500, so I've been looking at the Krell KAV series, the Creek Destiny, the NAD C372, and the Unison Unico SE. I'd love for it to have an MM phono stage, but it's not required.

Any other suggestions?
Good choice...my dealer uses Bryston with Maggies with great success...also carries NAD...and the C372 is very good amp for the money...
i have been using a musical fidelity a3 for a number of years and it does a good job in my smaller listening area (standard size living room).
I listen to a lot of jazz (coltrane, davis, green, morgan, gordon, silver) and some out of mainstream rock (richard thompson, tom waits, los lobos etc.) also like listening to frank and ella. But i will also use my ipod on shuffle with no problems as well. i do not know about the current on the a3 but it is supposed to deliver 170 watts into a 4 ohm load and magnepan said minimum is 100.
Here are two more contenders: Classe Cap-201 and the Plinius 9100. Both seem pretty nice, and come highly recommended by Maggie fans
I had to downsize a few years ago and gave up my big Mcintosh pre and power amp (MC402) and Cremona speakers ($8800) but I hung on to my great analog and digital source components. I went with a Music Hall Maven reciever and Maggie MG12's for my return to apartment living and have been enjoying them more than mini monitors but not like the system I used to have. But now I just got a Musical Fidelity A302CR 250W power amp. I'm using the Maven's pre outs so it is now just a preamp/tuner. I can say I am now back into REAL HIGH END sound again! Back to listening to entire albums/cd's again! I gave $1,500 for the amp and it had retailed for approx $3500 back when it was new. Best thing I ever did. My LP12 now sounds much better than my Sony SCD-1 like it should now that I have an amp that has the guts and finesse to show it.
Bottom Line: Buy an integrated that has preamp outs so you can do what I did and add a serious power amp later without having to also buy a preamp. Do not be afraid to sink lots of money into source and amplification with the maggies, they will pass the really exciting qualities to your ears effortlessly. If you are a bass slam junkie you will need a really boss serious subwoofer though, like a REL. But the maggies will do great midrange and that's the difficult and most important part anyway.
