I cannot afford Pass Labs amps. So I always have to find equipment that is as close as possible. A well known reviewer in the Netherlands helped me choosing my amps. I have always likes their sound at my Millon speakers, but know with Magnepan they have a power problem. Is it possible to find a power amp that comes close? Otherwise I keep my amps and don't play loud.

You will need bigger Maggies for good bass.
I have had Tympani IIIA (8 panels each 40 cm wide) in a small room, 3.8x3 m.
It certainly depends on what you use that room for. Today, I have 3-series in a normal living room 5.15x4.11 m.
I'm sure you had Tympani's in a 3.8x3m room, but I doubt if you had good bass.
That just opens the discussion as to what one would consider "good bass".
The was nothing bad with the bass in that room, flat to 30 Hz without boom. Also had them in a larger room 6x4 m but no gains in bass performance. Soundstaging improved in the larger room though. I am refering to a set of mechanicly modified Tympanis where the original baffles were replaced by my own design incl. cutting down the width of the tweeters in order to have the as close as possible to the mids. Soundstaging more like the Tympani IV (compared the two).
