Krell, Classe or Bryston?

I recently bought a pair of Magnepan MG 3.6rs and am looking for an amp for them. I would like monoblocks if possible. I recently heard the Classe Cam 350 monoblocks with my speakers and it sounded ok. But I've heard great things about the Bryston with Magnepans and the reputation of the Krells(?) seems intriguing. So what do the Maggie owners(and others) think? Or is there a better choice out there?

I used to own a smaller pair of maggies and have been in love the sound ever since. I plan to own them again and read most web sites with info on them. I have read more than one reviewer talk about the match between Simaudio w3 or w5 and the maggies. Simaudio products/www.simaudio.com/are not a lot of watts but very high current which is of course what maggies like. Simaudio products, like Classe are made in Canada which makes them a good value on your side of the 49th.cheers steve

Rgd I agree the Bryston mono s would be a good buy and I well may go that route when I have my maggies. However SGR did not state a budget and I found when you're at this level of sound quality it takes some serious bucks to make the upgrade worthwile.I dont think its ureasonable to have to double the cost to make the next step up . It really depends what you can afford. I have also heard SimAudios monoblocks marketed as I think a W10 . They are very tight and if you ever got them broken in they provide a hugh surplus of current. chers steve
