I am driving my DK with the MG12. They are a pretty good match. Plenty of power for the maggies. However, I am a little disappointted in the high. At time, it may sound thin. Needs plenty of warm up time.
I have used an Innersound ESL amp, that had an extra large power supply, and put out 1000 watts into 4 OHMs and they played extremely loud without damage. a drum solo on them was louder than if real drums were in my living room... no kidding.......
Do not worry about blowing Maggie 1.6 with clean power. I have heard the true ribbon tweeter on 3.6s can be blown rather easily though...
Actually, many people dont realize that it is the low powered amplifier that is most likely to blow your speakers since it can go into oscillation and also does not have the proper damping factor to protect the drivers. A high power, high damping factor design, with low distortion will protect your speakers.
