It seems then that the options are:1) Bi-amp with Odyssey Khartago on MT and Adcom GFA-555 on bass
2) Power all six panels with the Crown Macro Reference.
3) Bi-amp with the Adcom on MT and the Crown on bass?
There is an Audio by Van Alstine PAS 4i all tube preamp on audiogon for $439. Would be a good match with the Crown Macro Reference?
Please share your thoughts.

Yes, the Van Alstine PAS mods are very good with tighter bass and more extended treble than the original Dyna pre. It will do fine driving a 10K input impedance but noticeably better into 50K.
The Van Alstine PAS tube pre-amp will be a real good match with any solid state amp, as long as it's output impedance isn't too high for the amp's input impedance (observing the old 10-to-1 ratio rule. A 1k output with a 10k input, for instance.). I had one years ago, and it's a nice pre, not too warm (without the Van Alstine mod, the PAS has the old classic tube sound).
Each Tympani panel is 16" wide, so a 3-panel array is actually 48"/4' wide, a pair taking up "only" 8' of room width. Still a lot, but less than 9'!
