How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies

Pair of Maggies? Which pair? 40wpc? Never, unless you are satisfied with very soft music with no dynamics. I don't think so. 120wpc? Wouldn't be enough for me. I think you can do a lot better than Maggies with 40wpc. 40wpc with a pair of Maggies is like having them breath through a cocktail straw...

Bottom line? It appears that you will be able to drive a pair of Maggies That's it. Won't have any of the fun that Maggies can give you. Not with 40wpc. 200+ now you're beginning to talk. Look for other speakers or get your Maggies, but be ready to splurge big time for a new amp. They need oodles of high quality watts. Can get very expensive. I loved my Maggies, back in the 70s. Still as inefficient now, as they were then...warren

Man, it must be me. I loved my Maggies way back when. But tubes? I just can't imagine running Maggies on tubes unless we're talking mega $$ worth. And I mean mega! And the room to put them in. I loved my Maggies, but bridged with 2 Bryston 4Bs is a hell of a lot of juice. After you have those babies awhile and you're listening to one of you favorite ass kicking songs you want to make louder and your rig runs out of steam? Look to the 'gon for a nice Bryston 4B or the like, and you tell me....
