Matching amp with speakers is always important to get right. Most Magtech owners likely run Maggies, Martin Logans, or other difficult to drive speakers.
I had a Magtech when I used Maggie 1.7s. I thought the match was perfect and the amp never got hot, maybe just warm.
When I switched to another speaker the matchup was no longer great so I sold the Magtech, going with a tube amp. I'll still running tubes.
You might want to consider that approach, given that you don't need to worry about driving the bass with that amp. At 92dB effeciency these speakers could be driven by even moderately powered tube amps.
I don't think the amount of power the Magtech has would be a good match. You wouldn't be ever getting into the "sweet spot" of the amp's output.
