Difference in Using Mono-blocs with Maggie 20.7's

Peoples:  I've had Maggie 20.7's for about two years.  I like them.  I have a McIntosh MC462 amp that generates 450 watts pc and does a good job.  However I'm considering going to mono-blocs in search of an improvement in sound quality.  What is the likelihood of that being the case?  I've read much over time about how amp's can make such a difference in sound quality.  

Anyone out there make this change, and if so to what result?  Otherwise any other useful feedback is welcome.

You would really like Parasound JC1s.

Why do you think I’d like the Parasound JC1’s? I looked at them briefly.  Nice price point.  What have you heard them drive?

My brother had them with his 3.6 Maggies. They mix really well with Maggies. Make sure you have a world class pre-amp. I ran some small Maggies with a 400wpc MacIntosh amp and I can tell you the Parasound is a giant step up the chain.

@raysmtb1   Save your money. Nothing can help the Maggies.

Have you ever heard any of the big Magnepan loudspeakers, because it sort of sounds like you have not.
