Magnepan's website confirms what I've heard: that the MMGs want a high current amp or receiver. They don't recommend anything in particular. They do say it's a great sign if the amp doubles power from 8 ohms to 4 ohms. I can't afford to buy a Krell to drive a pair of $600 speakers no matter how nice they are. I'm hoping there's some moderately priced amp or even receiver that has genuine high current delivery. Maybe my best chance is to find a good vintage unit. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Peter
