I had extremely good results with the original Monitor 40’s using a Pass Labs 250.5 and an Audio Research Ref 3 preamp. The Pass brought out the best qualities of the 40’s, articulate bass, wonderful midrange and extended treble. I tried a few combinations before but the Pass/ARC combo really worked best for me.
My room was 13 x 21 x 9 and had a large opening into the dining room behind my listening chair. I sat about 11ft from the speakers.
I don’t know how the Pass works with the newer 40 models so I am not sure if this helps. Good Luck!
