I used a Sunfire Stereo II amp to drive Maggies for a few years. Maggies are not very tough loads (4 ohms, flat impedance curve, 86db) but they do open up with good power. The Stereo II provided 325 / 650 watts 8 / 4 ohms, and for $800 - $1000 used they're a good value.
They run cool, and mine ran well for 4 years or so and I was the 2nd owner.
I thought the amp was a good match for my Maggies, but when I went to Martin Logans @ 90db efficiency, I found I could go for a more refined amp with less power.
