Magnepan Upgrades, Silver and New Crossovers!
I have read elsewhere of Emotiva products destroying Magnepan speakers (sorry, no source, some other forum about bypassing Magnepan fuses)  I have not read of any other brand identified as a problem.  So maybe there is some sort of incompatibility... 
Best amp for studio 100v3, Rotel , Anthem or other
I have a rotel RB990BX, precursor to the 1080 and a Anthem MCA 2, precursor to the MCA 20. Both are very good for the $400 used price. The Rotel has clearly better, more dynamic and impacting bass performance, but sacrifices some detail and imagin... 
CJ SA250 or Rotel RB990BX?
I have a rotel RB990BX that I use with Magnepan MG-III's with good success. Rotel power seems typically robust in the lower frequencies--it makes drums sound great! The 200w seems to be plenty of power as the MG-III's like lots of power. At $400 t...

VTL-IT85 or Classe CAP-151 for magnepan MMG
comparing the mmg's to the 3.6 is unfair. I am not sure what you mean by "flat", my guess is not very full-bodied. With the mmg's (which I have too, with some mg-iii's and smga's) you don't get very good full sound like you get with the larger mag... 
Recomend Upgrade From Cambridge Audio D300
For speaker cables you may consider ordering from Stan Warren in OR. He could set you up with a esoteric type design for less than $300. He would argue better than most anything you can buy--even if he is wrong it is almost certainly better than a...
