Magnepan's love lots of 4ohm watts... and they open up with more.. Later he used a 200watt a channel Rotel that really opened them up.

It was okay but I felt that I was missing something. I then moved up to a Krell 300Si Integrated at 300 wpc/4ohms. This was a big improvement. Much more detail and resolution. Better bass. I am now running the Maggie 1.7's with a Wyred4Sound ST1000. Completely blows away the Krell. Another quantum leap in detail and resolution. The bass is much better - palpable. Maggies need power.
