    I used to use an ARC SP-3AMKII and ARC D-51 power amp with the first planars I ever bought. They made those MG-1's sound damn good! Of course more power would have been better. Within the power limits the sound was wonderful.

    Yes, and with the right setup it's magical. I've heard Maggie 3.6's driven by a set of reference Audio Research amps. Crazy good! Like floating in a sea of sound.......
