hey nicoff,
before you go into the finer details of how much better amp X will sound against amp Y, there is no (absolutely NO) amp that will drive the MG3.6R´s better than an active setup -i.e. with an electronic crossover !
that statement is well documented and supported by ALL who have gone bi- or triamp mode.
-and almost regardless of what quality amps ....
the amplifiers get soo much more control over the drivers because the poor stock passive crossover is "mudding" the signal. maggies do like a lot of current from the amps and do also like a low output resistance. switching amps (alias class D) do often offer this and are generally tremendous value.
an active biamping system with a good electronic crossover and , say, two wyred4sound amps will make ALL (!) mega-bucks amp sound like a joke in comparison.....
there is no one, who has gone back to the passive crossover, once they have experienced the gain of active.
consider it well before you throw your cash !
