I had a pair of Magnepan 3.3Rs.
I tried them with (2) Adcom 555IIs,
and (2) Parasound HCA1200As.
The Parasounds were a newer design, and sounded less forward than the Adcoms.
This was confirmed when I tried the same amps on my Counterpoint Clearfield Monitors. This speaker had the same aluninum Vifa tweeter as the early 3 series Thiels,
(before they went to the propietary concentric tweeter/midrange).
The Adcoms were just plain unpleasant on the Vifa tweeter.
