Magnepan evaluation


I'm considering trying out the MMG model from Magnepan's website. Will my McCormack DNA .5 power them OK, or should I get a more powerful amp like the Classe CA-300 or the ARC D-400II in order to give them a fair evaluation. Also if I like them a lot I will probably send them back and upgrade to the 1.6 or 3.1 models. Then I know a very powerful amp is needed. Has anybody heard the new PS Audio Gain Cell amps?

PS: room size is 17 by 25

Thanks

You may also think about the MG12 since many say that they are in some way better than the 1.6 and a bit easier to drive. I have a Portal Panace integrated that I am going to try and I think it will be fine. I actually have used a Dynaco St-70 at with pretty nice results at moderate level.
