Hi there:
I can't recommend something based specifically on your speaker model, but I've had really good results with these:
1. Macintosh MC275 (modern version, not the old ones)
2. VTL ST85
3. Music Reference RM 200
I've listed them in the order I owned them. My order of preference with Maggies is reversed from the above order. The RM 200 is a hybrid, however, not a full tube amp. Those are the ones I've personally owned. Now, having heard the ARC VTM-200's I think those are really sweet, too. They also seem available for a fairly reasonable price used. My experience is limited in this respect, but the 3 amps I owned are a good start. Hope that helps you. Good Luck, J.
Since the comprehension of sweet sound is our most indefinite conception...Music,when
combined with a pleasurable idea, is poetry. Without music or an intriguing idea, color becomes pallor. Man becomes carcass, home becomes catacomb. Edgar Allen Poe
