Amp for Magnepan 3.1 speakers


A friend of mine is asking my advise on what to get for his Magnepan 3.1s. He uses it mostly for home theater. Tubes are not an option. I want to get him a neutral amp w. decent body and high power that will be "turn key" for his use. A preamp is needed as well. He has rear speakers but they are not Magnepans. He needs probably a preamp / processor of some sort and an amplifier for the front. His budget for amplification is probably close to $2000 and he likes to buy used. I know what to recommend in terms of tubes but to find SS that is neutral with enough power anything I think of is too much money. Any help would be appreciated.

Quad 909 with their current dumping design would work well with Maggies (I bet) also Quad amps are very neutral and natural
Bryston 3 or 4 series is a natural.If you require more particulars flip me a pm.
I've had the Maggie 1.6, 3.6 and 20, and had best success with Classe and Bryston...tried Audio Research, Sim and others....
