HowardBest sound I had with my 3.6s was from Musical Fidelity TriVista 300 Integrated Amp - 350w/8, 600w/4 ss monoblocks in one chasis with tube pre, power supply in a seperate chasis. It was better - more transparent, musical, airy with deep and wide soundstage, very well defined bass - over Mac 401 monos and California Audio Labs 2500 MCA. It can be had for ~$3000 used. There is another inmate who uses and loves same combo. Personally, if I went back to MF, I would get the newer 500kw integrated for the added power/control, but price will be much higher.
You could not go wrong with Classe amps either though.
My dealer really loves Classe or MF over Krell & Bryston - and I would agree.
Good luck
