The OP made a great choice. My Motherlode paired with the Coda 16 has proven to be the most rewarding of combinations in my 30 plus years of obsessing. I began working with Aric over eight years ago and fortunate to be working with him again on a ... 
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!

Coda 16 or Pass Labs x350.8 with Magnepan 20.7
Coda without hesitation. I have owned several Pass amps prior to the Coda 16, and none of them measure up sonically.
