Regarding Ramstl's comment about Bryston: I used a previous generation 4B amp and found the results to be good. But Bryston electronics (amps and preamps) can be a bit bright and hard although their control, bass and dynamics are great. I moved to high-power VTL tubes which made them really sound georgous although a little loss of "punch". My experience owning two different Maggie models also showed they are sensitive to cables so try a bunch (I ended up with Trasparent bi-wire).
