Help with amp and Maggies

Great choices for your Maggie's. I owned a pair of 3.7's and agree with all that was said above. Bryston is a terrific match.

I have 3.7's. I tried Mc452 and Mac is not for me. I like both SS and tubes on Maggies. I had used BAT VK-55 mono and currently using conrad johnson Premier 8A. For SS, I tried Parasound A21, conrad johnson MF2550, Pass INT-150/INT-250.
I also consider PS Audio BHK-250.

How did the Pass amps work out with your 3.7’s? 🤔
I am considering Pass for my 3.7’s but the Diablo 300 also seems interesting. So far I have compared the int 250 against a Boulder 866 and Accuphase E800. (Not in my own system thought)

The Pass was wonderful with Maggies. I tried the Pass with Maggies for a short time. I mainly used the Pass with Revel Studio2. I also have the Diablo 300 and used it with Maggies in the summer (the tube mono are too hot in my room). I got the best bass I ever heard from Maggies with the Diablo. The Pass also had great bass and mid and closer to tube than the Diablo. The Diablo has a little dark warm sound like my predecessor BAT.

Thanks, would you say that the Pass had an airier presentation?
Compared to the Boulder 866 I thought the int 250 had a fuller more powerful bass.
The 866 was almost too controlled and sounded a bit restrained.
