Magnepan w/Krell integrated 400xi-good match?

looking at the krell integrated 400xi, 400 wpc into 4ohms and 200 wpc into 8ohms to run with my mmgs. may upgrade to 1.6 or 3.6 in near future...any opinions on how the krell will sound with any of the maggies? or any speaker for that matter....i'm thinking the krell 400xi should sound great with the maggies, but i have no experience with krell and do not know what their signature sound is. thanks for suggestions....

So, Cooch the tubes not doing it? Krell goes great with Maggies. Bryston, as well. If you're thinking on down the longer road at the 3.6s, I'd go with the Bryston. With a flip of a switch in the back, you be good to bridge them. Will require another Bryston, but they will eat those watts up. They love 'em.

I just don't relate to Maggies for nearfield listening. They need oodles of room and have to be placed four feet from the back wall to truly come alive. Anyway, you've heard this rap before. Good luck.
