Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST?

Has anyone heard both? I plan on travelling so small form factor matters to me but I'd like to stay with class ab, and balanced connections. I like the idea of having monoblocks with the Schiit when I get the money, and I've had good experiences with the brand. (Owned a Saga, a Mani, and a Jotunheim twice) but Bryston has the name recognition. I'm also concerned that upgrade fever would be relentless with the 3B-ST until I got the new and very expensive 3B3.

I went maggy for 20 years , their plant is 5 miles from me.

During that time I had about ten amps , Best were Belles .

Van Alstine was good as well .10 miles from me .

Both Amps were over 200 w . Both were STEADY by design .

Those talking about maggy being cut off on top .Rock is made cut for radios in cars .Rock is money, Jazz and Classical is more music .

 

Today , I would look at a D as well ,bel canto has good reviews, about 10 miles from me .
