I prefer monoblocks and by cheap I mean a kilobuck or so, tho less would be fine too.

I bought three of them about 6 months ago and I havent seen one for sale since. Current out the ying-yang to drive those Maggies and excellent tonal balance. Just found this: Remember, these amps double down as impedance halves just like a great amp should.

Edited: If these piqued your interest, note the voltage sensitivity of 2.95v to make sure you have a matching sourcepreamp to get a decent listening volume. However, i would like to offer some thoughts for a different approach which is the route that I took over the many years that I lived with MG3As; some here will surely disagree with this approach: There are different ideas on what constitutes great sound. For my idea of what great sound from Maggies means one needs a tube amp. To my ears Maggies with anything other than the very best solid state amp tend to sound lean and dry; deal breaker for me. Magnepan Smga Speakers Specifications Series Is RuthlesslyAdditionally, the ribbon tweeter in the 3 series is ruthlessly revealing of any problems with your amps high frequency performance which can cause an audible discontinuity between the tweeter and mid panel. A good tube amp gives the Maggies a sense of fullness and dimensionality of individual images that eludes most affordable ss amps as well as tending to have a more friendly high frequency character. The downside is that your maximum volume levels MAY be somewhat limited and ultimate bass response and extension will not be on quite the same level as with a good ss amp. This was never a problem for me and while I listen primarily to acoustic jazz and classical I also listen to pop and rock. Both are fantastic amps for the money (no affiliation with either seller): The Berning will give you more output, is fast and is the least tubey tube amp that I have ever owned.
