The Emotiva 5 channel gear is not happy running two channels for extended periods.

I ran the 1.6 pair with several amps including the Emotiva XPA-2 and XPA-3. My best pick was the Odyssey Stratos with a Rogue Metis preamp. The combo was not crazy expensive, had beautifil balance and plenty of steam for the Maggies. By comparison the Emotiva gear failed to get the better soundstaging. For the Maggies I'd look for a used Odyssey Stratos over the Emotiva.

Note: I use the Emotiva gear and love it for my home theater. They also do fine for music, but the Maggies are demanding at times and prefer to get their way.

Cheers,
