Maybe Bryston 4B cubed would work better? Also seen reviews that the Red Dragon M1000 Mk ll amplifiers work well.

Seems more power the better with Magnepan 1.7i

Besides models I mentioned, any other power amplifiers I should look at?

Take NuPrime Ref 20 (monoblocks).

I ended up ordering the Bryston 4B cubed in silver, 19" with handles.At a lot of audio shows Bryston is paired with Magnepan
