    Guys and gals
    I am new to audio forums. I am by no means an expert on the nuances of sound. I purchased my first separate system in 78. Magnepan mg 1 and Mitsubishi da 10 amp, preamp and tuner. I still have the speakers and amp. However I recently purchased Maggie's 1.6 speakers. They are coupled with Audio Research SP6 tube preamp and Adcom 5800 (also recent purchase) amp. I needed the power to get the most from these speakers.

    I am looking for suggestions on used amps that may provide a better sound and at a reasonable price. I have read reviews on Bryston 4B st, 4B sat, Parasound 2200 mkll, halo 21 (to high).

    Any suggestions will be helpful. Sorry for the length of post

    I auditioned many amps with the 1.6 and settled on the Quicksilver Silver 60. They sounded better than anything I could find and outperformed some quality high power SS amps with these. That amp is no longer in production but I'd look at his current models. They sound great with ARC preamps.
