Bryston 5BST and Maggies MG12

I use a Stan Warren modded Adcom 5400 (200w @ 4 ohms) to drive my MG12's. About 80% of the time I feel it's adequate. However, there are occasions when I wish for a little more juice. This only occurs when I really crank it up.

Thanks for that. Yeah, the 5BST's do belt out about 150w in 8 ohms. It's said to also throw 200w @ 4 ohms which if I'm correct is nominal impedance of the Maggies. I'm just not sure whether the 4 ohm rating of the Maggies is stable, or if it goes down to 2 ohms at certain frequencies/transients. The 5BST is currently handling my front and center speakers. I guess I'm toying around with the idea of changing setups again.

The Bryston 5B-ST has an actual power output of about 150 wpc (about 30 wpc higher than the rated output), which should be enough to adequately drive the Maggies, PROVIDED they are in a small to medium sized room, and you don't try to drive them to very high volume levels. If either of the two conditions I just mentioned occur, then 150 wpc could be too little to do justice to the Maggies.

I'm curious if you intend to use the 5B-ST in its full 3-channel configuration. Since the 5B-ST has 3 fully discrete amplifier modules, each with its own transformer, you won't get any benefits of a large shared power supply which can be beneficial if you intend to drive only the left and right front speakers.
