Despriately looking for amp for Maggies 20.1

Blew a fuse on AR 110's krank speakers to preformance levels most of the time
using a Anthem 5A for surround speakers. now thinking of bi-amping or 500+ mono blocks I need a series of opinions of people who actually have owned them and driven them

One big room with everything in it. The Maggies fill it with sound even if I don't have them properly driven

I have MG 20's, and for the longest time was using a pair of Krell 300 MDA monos. Before that I blew up several HT recievers trying to feed these current hungry beasts.

I've used a pair of Fisher 80AZ monoblocks, and am currently using a pair of Dynaco Mk III's.

All of the above get hot to the touch, but I've had no failures running them 8-10 hours at a time.

As a fellow Magneplanar enthusiast, I am glad to hear your Krells are working well.

Just curious re "several HT receivers" but did a dealer recommend that combination?

For other suggestions here.....I have never tried them but suspect Parasound monoblocks would also do the job.
