I think the top of the food chain in amps regarding Maggies

are those in the high current class. At least in my opinion.

I have a set of Gunned MMGs that were recently attached to a pair of Quicksliver V4 (200w tubed mono blocks). They sounded fine at first but could not reach the level of resolution compared to the pair of KEF LS50s I recently acquired and currently evaluating. The tube amp(s) simply could not cut through the 'fog' of the panels to reach the clarity and separation as the LS50s do. However, once I hooked the MMGs up to my Emotiva XPA-1 monos (1Kw each) they not only open up and came alive, they also created a clear and concise soundstage. This experience was also observed with a pair of VTL 100 mono tube blocks I own. Granted these aren't the best tube amps in the world and I'm sure there are some out there that will drive them to their fullest but you'd probably have to spend a fair amount of money on them.

Obviously 1kw would be overkill on the mini Maggies (and it's true ribbon) , just something to think about.

YMMV.
