RE: Amplifier for 1.7/ 3.7 magnepans

Martin Logans are generally pretty demanding of the amp.
They are sort of flat like Maggies, but that's where the similarity ends.
They are electrostatic and have some awful electrical characteristics at the higher frequencies.
The built in woofer taking off 'some of the load' is a red-herring. Don't be fooled.
