I originally owned Mag IIIA's for a whole bunch of years. It will take many hours to break them in again after the servicing. Also I ran them with a Music Reference RM9 100watts with 6550 (el34's wouldn't control the panels enough). The Conrad Premier 11s is a wonderful amp but you will be wanting more current since IIIA's are 84db sentitive. Two Premier 12's or Premier 11a on top with SS on the bottom... but for simplicity and you love of your spouse get Solid State, and spend the savings on your front end!
I later purchased an ARC D400 MkII and used my friends CJ2500 solid state, both do an excellent job and I would highly recommend either or amplifiers. Especially since you have a tube pre-amp. I used an Audible Illusions L1 at the time. It was a wonderful setup for jazz/blues/female vocals.
Also try switching the mags with the ribbons tweeters on the inside instead of the outside!
Enjoy... I'm still kicking myself for letting mine go.
