Despriately looking for amp for Maggies 20.1

Blew a fuse on AR 110's krank speakers to preformance levels most of the time
using a Anthem 5A for surround speakers. now thinking of bi-amping or 500+ mono blocks I need a series of opinions of people who actually have owned them and driven them

The EAD powermaster series are a very good match.The 1000 that I am using doesn't show any weakness at any volume(up to about 95db) and the sound quality is exceptional.I'm biamping with 4 of the 5 channels which adds to the overall performance but it does a great job 1 on 1.

A pair of the new Sanders Sound Systems ESL Mono Amps will clamp onto those babies and never let go. Buttloads of power and control.

I power my MG-20's with a pair of Threshold SA-1's on the bass panels and a pair of Pass Labs XA-100's for the midrange/ribbon tweeters. If it's in your budget try to biamp your 20.1's and the Pass Labs X-.5 series or the XA-.5 really would make them "sing".

Check out Wolcott P280M, wonderful sound quality and user friendly. Will easily drive your Maggies.

Maybe give Magnepan a call and get their opinion on what you are trying to accomplish;I always heard their customer service is first class.
