I had some MLs for ten years until a few years ago. I loved them, but what surprised me was which amplifiers allowed them to sound great.
Your posts interests me in particular, because I also had a Yamaha RVX-2400 for a while (when I used to have surround sound).
The amplifier on board of the 2400 was never going to drop my (or anyone's) jaw.
I tried the MLs (Aeon i model) with a Denon AVR-4808R (better, but still a bit dull). A Musical Fidelity A300 brought them to life. Upgrading to a Plinius 9200 took away a lot of that solid state 'clang'. But a Cambridge 840a turned-out to be the best of the solid state options I tried by a country mile. It was dynamic, detailed, a little warmer than the others, and it also had a surprisingly airy presentation.
