...it might be worth your time to check out the Sander's Magtech. This stereo amp outputs 900 watts per channel of clean Class AB power into 4 ohms. Maggie's like to drink current, so it's a good fit. Sound-wise, I'd describe the Magtech as totally neutral, neither warm nor cold. It conveys openness and detail of whatever is in front of it (tubes or transistors) without strain. There are many other fine amps of various wattages and efficiency that mate well with Maggies, but I've had this combination for two years now with no complaints. Also, the Sander's warranty is hard to beat.Cheers,

I took a brief look at the Sander's website. The guys at TAS really seem to like the Magtech. Any Stereophile reviews? I did a quick search and couldn't find any.
Ultimately, of course, we all need to trust our own ears. I was just curious.
Read Roger's design approach from his website (including his white papers).
Roger said the best arrangement comes from active vertical biamping if your speakers support active biamping. Each stereo amp becomes a mono-block if you will without the need for bridging. All crosstalk is eliminated, each channel can have it's own AC circuit and you can eliminate speaker cables in exchange for short jumpers. Longer XLR signal line runs are better than the same length in speaker cables.
FWIW, Roger used to offer a $500 discount on large purchases (e.g. amps) if you mentioned you are a member of the Martin Logan Owner's Group or the Planar Speaker Asylum.
