MMGs

A year ago, I bought a pair of MMGs.  In my 13x22 room, placement was a challenge but finally worked it out.

Speakers are powered by an Adcom GFA-555.  The only source is a CD player through a passive pre-amp.

Now I have a little more to spend and would like thoughts on the following options:

1) Mye stands for the MMGs

2) The DWM panel with the MMGs (secondary question - can this panel be placed on a side wall perpendicular to the MMGs?)

3) 1.7s

Open to other out-of-the-box suggestions as well.

The goal is always to attain that Magnepan soundstage.  Musical tastes are female vocalists, jazz, blues.

In a complete change of direction, I am going with Tympani IVs and will sell my MMGs.  I am considering a few amplifier options, including the Odyssey Khartago bi-amped with my Adcom, a Crown Macrotech Reference standalone and a pair of Wyred4Sound mAmps as monoblocks

 I am currently using a Schiit SYS passive preamp with the Adcom, but am considering a Van Alstine PAS 4i with the Crown or Wyred4Sound.  I welcome your input on these options.

AVA Pas4i is a great pre, I have one .
Problem is the switches in them are well known to crap out and new ones are not to be had .Usual reason they are for sale .

Schubert,

Thanks for the heads up.  What would you suggest as an under $500 preamp to go with the Crown or Wyred4Sound?  Or should I go straight to a DAC instead of a preamp?
