how much power do you need two drive magnpan1.6s

you can answer your own question by auditioning amps from low to high power, by that i mean, from 10 watts to 500 watts. i own 1.6s. i have heard a 4 watt single ended amp, a 350 watt class a am0p, a 500 watt class d and others, mainly tubed, having varied power ratings.

only you can decide what is satisfactory to our ears.

ok thanks guys

When I had 1.6's I drove them with 250 watts they were OK but always seemed like they wanted more (which you have). My guess is the Mac is going to be fine. Like Philjolet stated they like "high current" amps (maximum output current)

whats a good HIGH CURRENT AMP

My MG1.6 sounded best when driven with a 600 watt (4 ohm) digital amp. CarverPro ZR1600. They sound almost as good with the audiophile-approved CI D200, also digital, and good for 350 watts.

Maggies can sound deceptively good with much lower power, but you won't know what you are missing.
