Magnepan MMG Speakers?

Having not been in a position to build a proper stereo system the last few years, I'm finally ready and I'm about 90% sure I'm buying a pair of Magnepan MMG speakers. My speaker budget is approximately $600-$700. I have a PS Audio IV stereo pre-amp and am also in the market for an amp, so please feel free to make recommendations (approx. $400 budgeted.) If it matters, I prefer listening to CD's of live shows (Dead, Widespread Panic, The Clash, Burning Spear, The Meters etc.) and have thousands of soundboard, matrix, etc. recordings of random music acts, but I would also like to utilize Bluetooth aptX technology to play Sirius radio via my Android phone. I've been out of the loop and it's kind of overwhelming. Thanks!

They need watts for sure as well if you want to go louder. They are not very efficient.

I ran mine for years off a Carver m4.0t amp that was high power 360 w/ch but not high current (Carver transfer curve to sound like a CJ tube amp I believe). It was a good pairing.

I sold my Carver m4.0t on ebay a few years back for around $450. So an amp like that if available might fit the bill.
