I bought the 3.6's last year and tried to run them with a pair of McIntosh 2125's bridged mono to 240 a side. This was no where near the power/current necessary. I ended up picking up a Classe CA 400 that drives the Maggies really well.
That being said, I think you would be happier upgrading the amp first then moving to the 3 Series, the differences are not subtle.
