RE: New side and rear surrounds - Magnepan, BG, Sunfire?

Agree completely about the XPA-2. It's a good sounding amp and amazing for the money -- if it hadn't been, I would have sent it back. But that subtle, fine upper midrange graininess/bipolar sound bothers me. I guess it's a case of having tasted the Kool Aid . . . I'd be happy to live with and recommend the Emotiva but once you've lived with liquid mids and highs you're always going to want it. And I imagine it would be even more apparent with the true ribbon than it was with my MMG's.

Well if I could try any single amp at this point it would probably be the Magtech but last I checked they were kind of pricey and ultimately I'm planning to tri amp, so Class D bass plus two smaller, more liquid amps makes sense.

Have you considered a Class D pro amp for the bass? That's what Satie did. Really, any reasonable Class D amp is going to sound great on bass duty, since the Class D problems occur at higher frequencies. So you don't need something super refined if you aren't running full range. Not that an ICEpower amp wouldn't be a good choice.
