I auditioned Maggie 1.6QR's a few years ago, and they were fed with a pair of Bryston 7B mono's. They sounded terrific together...A friend of mine runs a Bryston 4BST with his Martin Logan SL3's. I don't know how the SL3's compare to the 1.6QR's in current-sucking-power-eating, but the SL3's do seem relatively hungry. His Bryston just gets on with it and makes music.
That said, I bought a McCormack (DNA-125) for my rig. I find the Brystons a little less harmonically rich. I think that's what BobH was getting at, you have to find a "house sound" you like. IMO you can't get too much different (with SS) in terms of presentation than Bryston and McCormack... They're just different sounding.
I think either would be a fantastic choice, IMO. The Bryston warranty ROCKS (my friend has used it), and I'm definitely going with Steve McCormack's mods when they come out for the DNA-125 series (225 is coming, too)... So both have their pluses.
Try to have a listen, preferably in your rig, as let us know what turns out best. I am thinking the McCormack would sound better, but then I'm biased ;)
