Sufficient power/current speaker for Magnepan 1.7 SSR speakers

 

I am upgrading my home theatre system (donating it to my son in law) and wanted to build a system around Magnepans (I know - hard to drive)

This is for a dedicated HT system

I have a separate 2 channel setup in another room

 

L/R 1.7s

Center CCR

 

I have a JL Audio Fathom F113 subwoofer

 

Currently I have an Arcam AVR 350 which I could audio out to the 3.1 or 5.1 amp.

 

I have been told I will need significant power to drive the Maggies sufficiently.

 

any recommendations for a 3 or 5 channel amp, 5 channel HT SSP?

 

Parasound comes to mind as a high current amplifier

 

wattage?

 

love to hear some personal experiences

 

thanks
