I don't know much about the Parasound. My personal approach would be to upgrade the speakers to something that will benefit from every upstream upgrade for a while, and I think the 3.6's would do that. My guess is that the Parasound isn't sufficient for them, but that buying them first would give you a serious "Wow!" factor, and that future upstream upgrades would provide continued smiles.
I haven't ever had a pair of Maggies, but I've heard many references to them working extremely well with Acoustic Research amps. As always, so much depends on your room size, acoustics, and musical preferences.
