What is the amp for magnepan's: tube or solid?


I have a mesa baron amp, and have been thinking about a bryston to replace it. I buy used equipment only. I would like to get more bass, and have thought about a sub, B&W. Would a Bryston amp add more bass?

Jayoo- I have tried more then a few amps and have heard nearly everything out there and under $15k you simply can not beat the Parasound JC-1 on Magnepan's(the JC-1's retail for $6k fwiw).
Gladstone why don't you have Wolcotts then? So then what amp under 12k do you say would outperform them? Stop trying to stir up turmoil(lord knows you love to :^)- you know they're REAL good for the money, you even said so here. In fact you thought they were better then your Classé until I purchased a pair on YOUR recommendation and then all of the sudden the Omega is better- come on I'm not going to play THIS game every time I have to reply to your trolling.

Tubes may be better, however I am not willing to deal with tubes, my life is to hectic to add tube rolling, tube replacement and amp warm up into the picture(sometimes I only have 15 minutes to listen!). In my real world enviroment tubes don't make sense- I should have mentioned that in my first post.
Hey Gladstone, sorry about that- I was quite harsh with out cause, add 6 pints of Guinness to that and well you see what happened. Let's not turn this into the DarTZeel thread though :^) I am swamped right now, but I will call you before the weeks out.
