Magnepan 20.7's & Tube Amp


Not looking for options beyond the two tube amps below.  I am only considering one of the two to drive my Magnepan 20.7's.  Would either drive the 20.7's well?  Do they provide enough bass? Is one better than the other for this application? Thanking those of you in advance who can assist me here!

When I had a pair of M-60’s powering my old Quads, I did exactly as Ralph recommends: the rear of each amp facing the back of each speaker, with a 1’ length of wire (silver Kimber) connecting the two. So much for cable makers who say with a straight face their wire should be no shorter than 6’/8’/whatever. Pure BS. A very real benefit of mono amps and short speaker cables is that you can then run balanced from your pre to mono power amps.
