that way you'll give them a better opportunity to reveal themselves.

Yes, I did this with my MG 10s when I had a Maggie HT. I put my MG 1.6s in the rear and the MG 10s in the front and rotated in different amps that I could try out or borrow. Given the role of the room in the overall sound mix, this gave me the ability to see how various amps changed what I was hearing. At least I felt good about my ultimate choice.
Not that it would necessarily affect my decision (for now), as the level of importance that I'm placing on rear surround duty is low (again, for now), as you can see by my limited choices...but I'm interested in what you found as synergistic with the MG10s.
Thanks.

Actually, I decided to use the MG 1.6s in a stereo only setup and the MG 10s are temporarily serving as rear channels (they will go into the system in my study eventually) in the HT with Vandersteen 2s as front channels (WAF, sigh). For a while however, I did have a 4.1 channel HT and I used a pair of B&K amps: a 4420 Reference dual mono for the MG 1.6s and an EX 4420 stereo for the MG 10s. They each put out 350 watts per channel, have reasonable headroom and are quite clean. I've had these amps for quite a while and I love B&K customer service, so I can't bring myself to part with them....
