Creek Destiny -- Maggies?

I can only say at first I thought my 1.6's sounded fine with a 180watt into 4 OHM amp till a friend brought over his 300rms@4ohm which was a large step up.next time he came
over he brought his heavily modded and rebuilt Hafler 500(friend is a retired EE Professor)which puts out a measured
535rms@4ohms.
This amp made my Maggies not only sing, but dance too !

Moral of story is I doubt if there is such a thing as too
much power for Maggies, I consider 200@4ohms a bare minimun.
YMMV

I know what you mean about power/current. I will be going from 500/channel into 4 ohms. The good news is that I got a line on a repair guy locally that might be able to help me. I'd much prefer getting this amp going than buying a new one.

I spent many a happy year listening to my MGIIIs with the venerable Aragon 4004 MKII. Seems like there's always a couple for sale here, and they hold their value if you want to swap in the future.

I hope you get it going !
Maggies are the only speaker where I think raw power is the primary consideration.

The Cambridge 840 puts 200w at 4ohms, a nice choice...in case you decide to buy another. :)
