Classe 300 or Innersound Esl amp. for Maggie 3.5s?


After much research I have narrowed down my decision to the Classe 300 or Innersound amp. Help me decide which will bring out the full boogie in my new used maggies.

Currently I have 2 NAD 2600 amps that either clip or blow a fusse when playing rock music pretty loud. Love the Maggies and play about 60% rock.
Will look to purchase another amp down the road but one nice amp will have to do for a year.

Current preamp is an Adcom 555II that will soon be a BATVK3I or CJ 14?

After that money is shot.

Help me decide please I need the last bit of encouragement to pull the trigger.

Added thoughts are ok to if you think from experince I could do better for the same $ range.

Thank all of you for your help on Audiogon, I would have never been able to purchase and Drive my dream Maggies without this sight. It has made turning 40 year OLD fun lately.

Probably the InnerSound ESL amp would be the better choice. It will drive virtually any current commercial loudspeakers very well. I've used mine with the InnerSound Eros, B&W CDM 9NTs, and Maggie 12QRs and the amp was virtually unflappable with any of those (at very healthy volume levels). It's really a nice thing to be able to play your system as loud as you please and not have to worry about clipping or amplifier failure.
