Neither of these amps comes close to the Krell KSA-250 in resolution,
soundstage, and "tube-like" mid-range. The Krell is $5900.00, or
you can get much the same sound for less money with the KSA-150.

I haven't heard this amp with Magneplanars, though--if they sound a
little bright you can use a cable with less top octave, like MIT, or
Kimber, than some others.
