I use Pass X600.5s with my Magnepan 20.1 speakers and after many systems in pursuit of satisfaction in this hobby I am extremely satisfied with this combination. The 20.1s do need a lot of power to sound their best so my recommendation would be to go with a good high powered solid state amp like the Pass amps or Brystons as recommended by Recordho. I've owned and enjoyed Harbeths also but I plan to stay with the Magnepans for the long run. Congratulations on the great deal. I purchased mine new through a local dealer and they're a fantastic deal at retail IMHO.

I have always been a box speaker person with top of the line Harbeths being my preference. Recently, I had occassion to a super! great deal on a pair of Magnepan 20.1's with the Cherry rails. Now, I've never heard a Magneplanar speaker so didn't know what to expect. I went to the sellers home fully expecting to be disapointed but wow, they sounded great. Anyway, it was too good a deal to pass up and now, they are in my home....I must add that the WAF ain't all that great because these things are monsters. NOW, I have the task of properly powering these speaks. I have them hooked up to a single Cary CAD200 amp thats doing 350W a channel and WOW but feel more power could be better so I'm searching for a best fit mono or single amp that will do these justice. A little hard for me because I'm a tube amp person and the tubes I've got just ain't gonna cut it with 4 ohms. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks,
