SS vs Tube Preamps
I had one (solid state preamp) hooked to my tube amps a couple months ago...sounded great. I was not in the market and only giving my opinion to someone regarding the preamp.The system still sounded like tubes BTW.Dave 
The Best Midrange in the World Right Now
Because we hear vocal sounds every day, our ears are highly in tune with them and what they sound like, ie...we aren't fooled very often.I've found E-stats, planers, ribbons and "some" horn systems do a pretty good job of pulling off this sleight ... 
Which AV Reciever to run Bose 901's,
If you have a tape loop you can use that?Dave 
Monoblocks with lots of bottom end?
One problem...even if you had the Musical Fidelity KW's, the Maggie 3.6's are not even close to a pair of Scintilla in any area of sound reproduction?...your mirror will be hand held in scale.You could save money by simply buying a pair of Apogees... 
Do your speakers have the clap?
What cd should we test with?...I have no well recorded hand clap cd's that I can think of. I expect that, that would have a great deal to do with it.Dave 
Best bargain for speaker that can offer top sound
UnsoundYa...I agree. The "best bargain" part for sure. He did say "for less money than today's top models prices"...I ran with that part.Best bargain only...I'd have went with the Maggie MMG's...around $350 used.Dave

Aside form the Human voice...
I'll go with piano, It can pretty much express anything and everything.Dave 
Do the big Maggies play LOUD
In general...planer-e/stat types do not play as loud as big cone boxes, which don't play as loud as horns.I suggest a hybrid for you...lots of them being built, so you have a few choices.....VMPS is one good choice that I've listened to, they will... 
what is a better power amp ?
I agree with Viridian...listen first. Your speakers are rated for amps in the 50-500 watt range so an amp upgrade is not out of the question...I would however, listen first...save some money ($700-$1,500)...buy a good used amp at Audiogon down the...

01-16-07: Brauser"D-U-N-L-A-V-Y".....Ya, thats what I thought he was talking about.Dave 
Best bargain for speaker that can offer top sound
I must have read the question wrong...I thought he said:"today's top models"....ie, top of the line type stuff, not bang for buck.Dave 
Best bargain for speaker that can offer top sound
Apogee, Grand, fullrange, Scintilla, Diva can compete at any price level. You will need a large dedicated room to set them up properly, or don't bother.Dave
