Yeah I think you'd be fine with the Classe amp. I'm running a 30 watt amp in an 18x26 room that opens to an upstair and it get loud enough for me. You aren't going to get super loud kick ass sound out of these but what they do well is pure magic. Since mine have broken in they seem to be opening up more and not as closed and compressed sounding as when brand new. Give them a chance when you get them don't write them off to soon
Maggie LRS so ridiculously good
I ordered a set of the LRS just to be able to say I have lived with Maggies at least once. I've had a lot of speakers and some big dog expensive ones like Kef Blade and Revel Salon 2 to name a couple. These 650 dollar LRS bring as much enjoyment as anything I've ever heard in so many ways. They don't love hard driving music for sure but for quiet listening or mellow type music they will give you transcendent moments. I swear they are breaking in or something and becoming a little more dynamic than when brand new. These have to be one of the greatest hifi bargains of all time. My 30 watt Pass 30.8 drives them well. I had 3.6 maggies many years ago and I snubbed them, thought they were so compressed sounding but maybe I was wrong or not using the right amp. These are just wow and so impressive what you can get for the money. I have a feeling a killer amp is a big part of the equation with these but even with a Naim Uniti Atom in a smaller space these are still awesome. This has to be the ultimate apartment speaker for someone who can't turn it up very loud and likes to listen late and night, you can really enjoy these at very low levels. Anyway I just wanted to put my enthusiasm on public record, if you are thinking of pulling the trigger do it and also give them some time don't write them off to quickly. I wish I had a separate space so I could always have a set of maggies ready to listen to when the mood and music was just right.
