Of all the amps you listed, I like the Acoustat combination the best
with the Magnepans.  The 120's drawbacks are a sterile-sounding upper
midrange and a weak bottom end, but it has good depth, a large
soundstage, and good dynamics.  The TNT-200 is quite good for a few
(hundred) dollars more, has a more neutral sonic signature than the 120,
and a deeper soundstage.  The 120 is a good buy and the 200 is a great
buy.

Don't, I repeat, DON'T buy the Acoustat preamp.  It's the pits.
