Recommendation Amp for MGIIIa

Need to replace my PSE II mono blocks with an Amp that can handle the Maggies. I do play my volume loud at times (have never blown a fuse on the Maggies). Looking for a dual mono and have been considering an Aragon or Bryston. My preamp is an Audible Illusions IId. I would appreciate any recommendations or feedback. Thanks

my friend has maggie 3s. he is biamping with a ss amp on the bass panel and the dyna mark 3s on the treble.

i would suggest a beefy amp, such as the macintosh 2102. there should be enough power with kt88s, or the wolcott stereo amp, 140 watts of tubes. i heard this amp provide ample power for a pair of 3.6s .

i think ss with magnepans is too much of a good thing. the good thing is resolution. be careful with ss amps. select one which is gentle, such as the ayre.
