Yes, maybe SOME. And bear in mind $tereophile is not the holy truth.

Bryston amplifiers are a good match for Maggies, or so they say. The B-60 is
an integrated to be considered (don't know where are you living, Bryston is
not evenly distributed over the world but thery're VERY serviceable). Their
phono stage is quite good, and you can have one with or without phono stage.
I have a BP-25 preamp with MM phono stage which could upgraded to MC just
by adding the step-up transformers. Newer power amps from Bryston have been
upgraded from ST to SST, but don't know about the B-60. I've recently seen a
Bryston 4B-ST at *bay, silver finish. The BP-25 pre didn't seem to have a
phono preamp installed.
