Martin Logan CLS 11Z speakers + which power amp?
I tried the CLS-IIz's with both large tube amps and large solid state amps and they do suck a lot of power the solid state amps, monoblocks were running out of steam, Bryston 7B's. Also the tube amps could not them any justice.

I had the ET LFT VIIIa's and they are a tremendous speaker for the price, I had them in a room 14'6" x 16'6" and a much smaller room and they worked great, you will need to supply sufficient power to them they love good solid state. 
Krell amps with Magneplanar speakers
You may want to try Bryston 7B's, Legacy Audio Monoblocs, and Rogue Audio 120's. I have tried all three and they all sound superb with the Maggie 3.6's.
