Pioneer Elite A-35r and Magnepan MMG's

no way is it enough power for maggies. i had a a35r and i think is good for the money ($200) but is very weak in general

btw, the a35r is 45w/ch, not 65.. dunno where you got that from

I would worry less about power and more about bass response depending on your musical needs...mmgs have limited response especially in a room 12 x 15...however if your primer choices are vocals,acoustic guitar,etc they would be perform fine...however...with any bass driven music like rock,reggae, electronica,etc,,,they will struggle...could add a sub....but at this price range...might be best to go with a driver speaker that can produce some LF...happy xmas

It is 45w @ 8ohms and 65w @ 4 ohms. In the specs.

It isn't enough, and it doesn't have much to do with how loud - it's about transient dynamic peaks, which have a lot to do with timbral differentiation among other things. I highly recommend the MMGs but they require amplification upgrades up the chain.

Thanks for your input. I thought as much but wanted some other folks thoughts and I appreciate that!
