I'm a "Maggie man" since 1977. Maybe my 2 cents can help. Maggies like CURRENT. That's much different than wattage.
I have a bias toward Audio Research because back in the day Jim Winey (Magnepan) and Bill Z. Johnson (ARC) were neighbors and besties and they used each others equipment to test and refine their products. Basically "They play well together" Perhaps a used set of Ref 250s (8K) and a 2.7 upgrade would thrill you. I would me!
I have had wonderful results with Bryston monoblocks driving Maggies (again current) and they really "wake up" with the 700B SSTs I have used.
As always go to a dealer and audition them. You cannot make a good and satisfying final evaluation based on old guys like me chortling about what they love. Results may vary!
