Amps for Bi-amping Maggies

I have been contemplating bi-amping my Maggies forever and I think I'm about to pull the trigger. So here are the known factors:

Speakers - Magnepan 3.6R/Mye stands and ZuAudio Libec Cables

Crossover - Marchand XM44 (much research done)

Amp Low - Cary Audio CAD 500 MB

now my quesetion is on the amps for the high end, I have listened to many, but not with my system actually

(2)McIntosh MC275's in mono

Rogue Zeus

VTL ST 150

Rogue 150's

I really love the VTL sound, but are any of these enough juice for the top/mid on the Maggies? I assume they are, I love the idea of the tube sound on top.

Any one have some experience with these?

thx.

I wonder if up grading to 20.1s instead of adding a tube top end to smooth out the mid range would be better. I am now trying to decide between the 3.6r and the 20.1s. I have not heard the 20.1. Nobody in Austin has them.
We live fairly close, we should get together so time.I live east of Austin in Elgin. If you are up this way let me know. I will give you a listen of what ever I am fiddling with.
