What is best amp for Maggie 3.6R

I recently putchased the Maggie 3.6R and I'm in the market for an amp that will make them sing. I'm considering the Musical Fidelity kw500 (hard to find) or the Classe CAM-350 monoblocks which means I would have to also find a well match preamp (considering the Musical fidelity 3.2CR).

Despite all the talk here about the Spectron I´m tempted to try tubes this time (many prefer tubes with these speakers). The new powerful VTL MB-450 Series II monos seem like they might be a good match with my MG3.6´s.

My 3.5Rs were the happiest when I fed them with Bryston 7Bst's.

Better yet, If you want tubes then get a pair of McIntosh MC275V's .......

My friend has Maggie 3.5's and uses Cary V12 monoblocks.

Beautiful sounding rig and the Cary's are a wonderful match imho.

Have Fun.

Consider biamping. That's where the real Maggie magic is!

I am using PS Audio GCA 250 (mod by Underwood HiFi) on the ribbons and a BVAudio (no longer in biz) on the bass panels. Best to use identical amps, but this is what I had on hand and the BV is a great amp. You then eliminate the passive xover and get a Berhinger or DBX... inexpensive xover.
