Amplifier power needed by 1.7s


I recently acquired Magnepan 1.7s along with a REL sub.
What tube amp power do they really need to perform well?
Currently I have a MAC MC275 and am acquiring a second to run them as monos. Will this be adequate? Room size is 20x30 with 1.7s about 4 ft. from short wall. I listen about 11 ft. from 1.7s.

I heard the 1.7's with and without a rel sub. Addition of the sub made the 1.7 a much better speaker. I was very impressed. I'm not so sure that tube amps are the answer. I prefer SS with maggies. I'd go for tubes in the source or pre.
