Krell KAV 400 xi for Magnepan 20.7's?

Hi,  I am buying a pair of Maggie 20.7s and will be buying a Magtech sometime after the spring of next year.  Until then,  I have a Rogue Pharaoh which I couls sell, or use as a pre-amp with a more powerful integrated such as the Krell KAV-400xi for the time being.  I know it's underpowered and I'll end up selling it.  Any thoughts?

Best regards,  Bob

Do you already have the Krell amp? It will probably work great.

Im sure itll work fine but krell has always been known as a bit bright, and all the maggies ive owned or used were just a touch bright.  So far Ive liked classe powering Maggies, Ive liked Mcintosh a little bit better and Ive loved the sound of 1.7's with some hefty tube power like the audio valves I used for a few years.

Although I use tube amps most of the time, I have never known Krell to be bright. I have owned many Krell amps and still do.
