RE: Tube Monoblock Magnepan Advice

For $800, these days folks get very little of what they truly value and want from their audio...me thinks. It seems that you want to keep the best of what that combo gives you now. As a known quantity, keeping it working for 800 bucks or so may be a great option. Unless, of course, the Maggies are also due for replacement soon.

OTOH, there may be sweet pickings for the right price just by looking out there. Long ago, a friend of mine was in love with his six packs until a storm destroyed his place. He told me that had no choice but to look into a Cary, a V12, I think. One day he sounded depressed on the phone...could not afford one. Then, days later he found one for "pennies", somewhere. He told me that it sounded just as good as the six pack, though I never heard this myself. I do remember his six pack driving his Lowthers and charming me for hours on end.
