Amp recommendation for Magnepan 3.7's?

I have a pair of Magnepan 3.7's that I just acquired and currently power them with a Rega Elicit integrated. I am thinking about buying a used Wyred4sound ST-1000 and use the Elicit as a preamp. Before I pull the trigger on the Wyred4sound I am wondering are there any recommendations for producing the best sound from a pair of Magenpan 3.7's?

I bought Parasound JC-1s used a few years back for my 3.6s and couldn't be happier.

I drive my 3.6s with a Wyred ST1000II. Great match, easy drive.

Yup. people think they have heard their Maggies, well at less than 500 watts a side @ 4 omhs, stable to 2, no you haven't .

I drive my Maggie 3.6's with a W4S ST1000.

Dynamic, detailed, and can play loud in 35 X 8 X 16 room.

Having said that, I think that it also sounds a little bit lean and not real live.

I am searching for a "warmer" amp that provides a little bit more texture to the music.

Dsper, Van Alstine Synergy 450 sounds like a good modern tube amp at 2 k.His biggest FET has 300 a side at 8 ohms, plus Maggies play better with Minnesota amps LOL .
