Anthem TLP-1 and Wyred 4 Sound ST-500 for the 2-channel music setup. I chose an Anthem TLP-1 for the pre-amp because it provides an analog subwoofer crossover. It is unfortunately fixed at 80Hz. I decided against the Parasound Classic 2100 because I did not like the sound of the Parasound Halo P3.

The Wyred 4 Sound ST-500 is an ICEpower amplifier that can easily drive the Magnepans. 2009.03.08
