Maggies need lots of power. Tubes are not the best option unless one gets a very powerful tube amp, with all the associated issues.

For Maggies, I would recommend Electrocompaniet preamp and power amps. They sound unique among solid state amps, and provide a degree of openness, clarity, and low level detail not achieved by any other SS I've heard or owned. They will be a very good match for Maggies, in that they will bring out the best that the Maggies have to offer, while taming what can be an over aggressive treble from the Maggies.
