Tympani IVa amping

Any advice? I'm quite overwhelmed with info recently but am leaning towards Cary CAD-500's. Any input greatly appreciated.

This was recommended "off the record" by a source at the factory who said it was the best amp he ever heard with Tympanis. True they can handle just about as much power as you want to throw at them, and some Magnepan gurus suggest that biamping is really the best way to go. Good luck and have fun.

I use tube otl's on top and a class D amp for the bass panels. Crossover duties are now being handled by a behringer 2496. Cwlondon's placement of the bass panels is interesting. Care to explain the logic and results? Thanks.
