Which Amp for Magnepan MG 3.6/R?

Many have asked which amp works best with the Magnepan MG 3.6/R, but I haven't seen a good response yet. Can anyone assist me?

My current short list includes the Classe CAM 350, Nelson Pass X250, Belles 350A, and Theta Dreadnaught II. Which one would you choose?

My system includes: Musical Fidelity NuVista 3D CD player, Klyne 7LX3.5 solid state preamp, a pair of Cambridge SoundWorks Newton P-1000 subwoofers, and Analysis Plus Crystal Oval 8 cabling. I listen to classical music and jazz.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm using the Innersound esl amp to drive 1.6's and absolutely love the sound. Another amp that I used before didn't have the power to open up the 1.6's, but once the Innersound esl amp was substituted, the maggies woke up with incredible dynamics. Althought I haven't heard the Innersound mono amps, here is a review that was used with the 3.6's. http://www.ultraaudio.com/equipment/innersound_esl_800.htm
Good luck in your search.

Great to hear that you settled on the Innersound esl amp! Which amps did you compare the Innersound esl to and with what results? The Innersound esl amp is one honey of an amp and will stay in my system for quite a while.
