Best Amp for Magnepan 1.7?

What would be the best amp out of the following four brands to power the new 1.7s? Also, would a monoblock setup be worth the extra money? I like McIntosh; however, I'm not sure if the detail and speed will be up to what the 1.7 would want.

Krell
Mark Levinson
McIntosh
Bryston

Thanks guys

The best match that I have heard is what I am using now, a pair of Cary 500 mono blocks. What pre amp are you using?

Every so often a good pair of Cary 500's show up for sale on Audiogon.

From your list I would go with the Pass.
