Magnepan 3.7 speakers + Audio Research Ref 75 amp


Magnepan speakers have an average impedance of ~4 ohms and generally need LOTS of power. Tube amps rated at under 100 watts need not apply. So I'm told. I've also heard that Magnepan and ARC have a synergy that may be hard to beat, though I can not say I have ever listened to this combo.

So, my question is, would a 75 amp from ARC (with a power supply storage of 520 joules) be sufficient for the 3.7 Maggies in an 18' by 30' room? Has anyone heard or heard of this combo before?

Thanks in advance!

Jallen, don't mean to butt in here but have you heard the manley 500 or 250 with the 3.7's? I have the 3.7's driven by Cary 500.1 MBs (1000 WPC into 4) but have wondered how the Manley's would do.
