RE: How can I get the magic of McIntosh MI-200 amps

OK, I see elsewhere that you have 100dB speakers so a 45 SET will do the job unless you're a real deaf headbanger!

I'd say for really wide range sound you must find a really good output transformer. If you liked the MI-200 with it's enormous headroom, then you probably want pretty low distortion, so keep the OPT impedance on the high side and use a driver stage with lots of headroom. (I like current source plate loads, but a really good plate choke or interstage transformer will give you low distortion with even greater headroom. For total over the top, a regulated power supply might help.
