Magnepan 3.6

you should have no problem with an spl of less than 80 db.

i drive a pair of 1.6s with 4 watts. don't listen to the naysayers. try it and see. bring the amp to the speakers.
make sure the room is not much larger than your room.

hi narrod:

how do you know i'm not hearing what the speakers can do, if i am restricting the spl to 79 db ?

i don't listen loud even when i use my vtl deluxe 120s in terode mode , i.e., 120 watts.

i was not the only one who liked the 1.6s with 4 watts. i was the host of an audio meeting. 6 other members of a club liked what they heard as well.
