I have had excellent results with 2 Ayre V-5 XEs in biamped for each speaker; older Rotel RMB 1095 in bridged mode, also outstanding.
Currently using 4 Parasound JC5 stereo amps in bridged mode, 2 amps per speaker; best I ever heard them sound. Power reserves are almost unlimited (5000 W continuous) into 4 ohms, much more than MBLs biggest amps and also very cost-effective. My soundstage rivals Carnegie Hall in a midsize 3300 cubic feet room and musical refinement is off the charts.
I would be glad to share more details with other lucky MBL 101E owners.
