What does more power do for Magnepans?

I have Magnepan 3.5 speakers with a Plinius 9200 integrated. I think the sound is quite good but I always hear that Maggies love alot of power. I am curious and considering a Plinius P8 to biamp with the 9200. What difference could I expect to hear with more power? Any opinions?

That's because an Elephants trunk contains over 40,000 muscles.

I guess that sums it up then...more muscle can be a good thing for Maggies, and Elephants.

Mr. T,

Just how close do you sit to your 1.6's to get 72 - 82db with 4 watts?

I agree with Valleyplastic. By running 2 sets of cables per side, one pair to the bass and a separate run to the mids and highs there’s a huge improvement as was mentioned.
