Having heard many an amp on Maggies, I would look to a decent 60-80W/ch or better tube amp for best sound with Magnepan. I have heard the Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated for example sound very good, especially with a nicely integrated Rel sub in the mix.
Maggies like power but are not necessarily current hungry. They can go loud but their biggest strengths relative to others are at lower to moderate listening volumes IMO.
Similar power tube amps in this range sound different from SS equivalents at higher volumes largely due to the soft clipping characteristics of most tube amps as volume goes up.
