good amp for Maggies?

Hello,

I'm planning to upgrade my stereo system and have had for 30 years Magneplanar speakers. I started with the Tympani's which are now in one son's home. Then I moved up and those speakers are now in my other son's home. I now have the 3's and plan to purchase the 20.1's in due time. (budget)
In the meantime I have come across a pretty good deal from a dealer I trust for the Classe monoblocks. So I might purchase them before the new speakers - but since it would be a while before I get the new speakers they would just sit around for a while. Is this a good idea?

thank you for your help-

I think i will purchase these classe amps - hook them up to my current maggies for now and then, when i can afford it, hook them up to my new 20.1's.

appreciate your thoughts.

Having been a Maggie owner since 1979 and gone up the ladder with various models,I have found that any quality amp that doubles its power into 4 ohms has always worked well.Doubles is power,not merely increasing its power is what counts.All the above amps mentioned should make those babies sing.Would like to add that the older levinsons No.27/No.23/are superb amps for Magneplanars.Mate with a fine tube preamp and you should be in nirvana all day long.

Odyssey Stratos! Klaus is a great guy too so that's a bonus.

McCormack DNA-500, or down the money chain, DNA-225 used or a DNA-1DLX will work very well with Maggies.

Listen for yourself and you will hear......
