The conventional wisdom of spending half one's full system budget on speakers flies out the window with the MMGs (or the 1 series - probably true even for the 20.1s). For a month, I had the mother of all inversions of that principle in the form of a $10k Pass amp driving my MMGs (while I was awaiting delivery of a pair of 3.6s). Those lowly little MMGs (modded to the hilt) revealed just how sweet that amp is. I only hooked it up to make sure it was healthy (picked it up used via Audiogon for less than half what it sold for ~5 years ago), but doing so showed me just how sane such a seemingly ridiculous action actually is.Do not shortchange your MMGs. Forget the conventional wisdom and buy the best amp you can afford. Don't forget the upside to 'upgraditis' - when others are infected with that disease, perfectly good equipment hits the used market - you can afford better equipment than you can afford ;-).
