Magnepan and Bob Carver Raven amps

I know the Magnepans are not very efficient and most of the amps that are usually paired with these speakers are not to my licking.

I own the Bob Carver Raven mono block amps; Will these amps provide sufficient power for the Magnepans? They are rated at 350 RMS at 8 ohms and 400 at 4 ohms, but they are tubed so that may matter.

I was considering either the 3.7i or the 20.7.

I know many people on here have issues with the amp’s specs

And so they should, because specs are so audible

 

You have the best (most accurate) speakers made, period.

Or not... ALL speakers have flaws. We all have to choose our poison. Tympani IV in my current room would be suicidal.
