Odyssey stratos (stereo or mono) has the high current that your martin logan speakers need while maintaining it's fun to listen to musicality. 
Odyssey tempest vs PS Audio PCA2 vs?
I have gotten so spoiled with my SCE HRS Placette passive it isn't funny. I used to run the variable out of a CD player directly to an amp thinking I could spend more on quality ICs if I only had to buy one set. I tried the Placette and as soon as... 
how does paypal work
They allow you to set up an account for free and funds may be sent using your credit card. Once my account had been set up the amount they would allow me to send slowly decreased from a reasonably high amount to $17.00. They said to send more than...

Amplifier Dilemma
The Magnepans need a lot of current and the Odyssey would simply amaze you. It has current to spare. You can try it at home with no risk. To get the best bass, put it on top of some black diamond racing cones and a slab of granite. 
Bel Canto 2 or Musical Fidelity A324 DAC??
I don't have the answer but if you try them both, I would like to hear the answer. There was a very lengthy shootout discussion on Harmonic Discord with some honest mixed results. It also included the scott nixon and artdio daccs. 
Anyone familiar with the ACI Titan LE2 Subwoofer
You can also get a stereo pair of The Force for a little more than the Rel Strata or ACI Titan II LE. I think with the standard oak finish it's $1550.

One more Power Cord Needed...Advice?
My CD player is the Lin Genki with billiant SMPS so it's a little funny with power cords. The only one that seemed to instill a noticeable difference was the Empirical Audio Magnum2. The images became much more solid and the highs smoothed out and... 
Best Power Cord for Bel Canto Evo 200.2
I own the Mono evoe 200.2s and settled on the TG Audio SLVR. They add more bass than the HSRA GenII and the midrange and highs are even more open. If your system has brightness, they won't cover it up and you could try 688s instead. I tried Elrod ...
