Magnepan 20.7i Amplifier Pairing


I am considering buying a pair of Magnepan 20.7i speakers (maybe I will receive them before the snow flys ;))  and would like the latest opinions on what are the best pairings for the 20.7i's.  What are your thoughts?

Power- hungry speakers! I bought a Perreaux 2150B for such use! 340/680/920wpc @8/4/2 ohms! There was one on eBay for less than $1K. A great sounding amp equal to a big Bryston, Levinson or Krell.

I would think most of the larger Pass amps would do a wonderful job.

I use a 250.8 with 3.7i and it hardly ever leaves class A.

I know in the past Magnepan discouraged class D amps.

You definitely want a high current amp

many recent threads on amps paired with maggies -- search bar above is your friend

short answer - ultra clean ultra pure ultra powerful solid state - of which there are many out there, but none inexpensive...

At this point I am considering:

a)  Pair of Rogue Apollo Darks with el cheapo base level Rogue line level preamp RP-1

b)  Pair of Rogue M 180s with top preamp RP-9

c)  Parasound Halo JC5 Stereo Amp and Audio Research LS28 SE Preamp
