Best pre-amp/amp combo for Maggie MMGs?

Getting some used MMGs. Wondering what preamps and amps people are using together with the MMGs. Any suggestions on subwoofers would be appreciated too.

I have to start with either (or both) Aragon 4004 and Parasound HCA 800 power amps. Was thinking a tube line stage would be nice or maybe even the Shanling MC-30 would work well (with power amp) Thank you in advance for your input.

The litle Maggies will gulp more amp juice than you might expect. My room is quite large and when SPL goes up, I'm pretty deeply into my amp's output. Although I use subs which limit the bottom end (and associated amp requirements) of the MMGs, I still find that my 122wpc ARC VT130SE is running a bit closer to full out than I would like. My take:

More power is better.

Good Luck
