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.

funny thing about Maggies, the farther they are out into the room the more true low bass they have, 5 - 7 feet out would be great if you could swing it

I bet you would love them for what you need with 200 watts

though some have posted a bit of leaness with Maggies w/o subwoofer fwiw

I found that the closer to the wall the bass becomes ill defined, you get more of a 'one note' bass and focus, imaging and depth of field are compromised for all frequencies.

My comments are in comparison with the absolute best placement.

Also the speaker is so darn good even less than ideal placement would still be very competitive with other designs.

I think you would still be happy with tone and they would be more than listenable, especially if the volume is not too high.

my two cents...
