The first Magnepans I ever heard were driven by a First Watt amp, I forget which one. The owner thought it showed that a good power supply and solid engineering provided plenty of juice if you weren’t aiming for rock concert sound levels. I took it to heart and now have a living room secondary setup of a diy First Watt M2 driving Maggie MMGWs with a little Martin Logan sub. It’s a sweet sound, but again, pretty modest sound levels and mostly acoustic music.
