Classe CAP 2100 for Maggie 3.6?

I have a Classe CAP 2100 (and numerous digital sources)that has been collecging dust and decided to set up another system.
I am thinking about getting a pair of planars, possibly Maggie 3.6. I have very little to no knowledge on what type of amplifiers would be upto the task. I believe that the voltage is what matters more than the Wattage for the electrostatic speakers.
Do you think the CAP 2100 would be a good fit for Maggie 3.6. (I am not dead set on the 3.6). Any constructive input would be appreciated.

I listen to mainly jazz trios and simple clean vocals (with acoustic guitar, acoustic piano, bass, etc).
I am planning to set this system up in an approximate 20' x 50' room. The ceiling height I believe is 14 ft. 4' x 5' window on the 50 foot wall. There is a french door on the opposing side of the window. The window is in a recessed (4 ft deep) area. The speakers will be on one end of the 20ft wall (no windows now door on the 20 foot wall). I am planning to put my Classe CAP2100 into good use. It is just collecting dust. The source will be a digital medium. I have several CD/universal players that I can choose from. I will most likely use OPPO BDp 95. It is a Blueray/SACD player that is also collecting dust in the basement.

Thank you for all the great insight.

Although the room is relatively large, I don't think I can place the speakers more than about 2 feet away from the wall. Maybe I can push for 3 feet. The room is currently dedicated as a "guest hearth room" and my-better-half will not agree on these speakers extended out 6 feet from the wall.
Do you think I will encounter significant acoustic problems/limitations?
