For what it's worth, I had a pair of Magnepan Tympani IVa's restored last year.
The person I dealt with at Magnepan told me the 23.5 was the best amp they ever heard on their large panel speaker systems.
I therefore bought one and I love it. For me, it also captures the styling of the golden age of Mark Levinson and high end audio in general.
Personally, I think the newer amps look like space heaters.
Good luck whatever you decide.
