Can DK design MKII drive the Magenapan MG1.6 well?


I just bought a DK MKII int-amp, and want to buy MG1.6 later. I wonder if they match each other well. any inputs are appreciated.

Maggies like lots of current. If the power rating (watts) of the DK doubles from 8 to 4 OHM this would suggest it would do well with Maggies in general.

I used to own 1.6s and drove them with a Plinius SA 100 MKIII amp that had 100 watts and it drove them much better than a Plinius 8200 integrated that had 175 watts because the SA 100 is a true class A design with lots of current.
I have used an Innersound ESL amp, that had an extra large power supply, and put out 1000 watts into 4 OHMs and they played extremely loud without damage. a drum solo on them was louder than if real drums were in my living room... no kidding.......

Do not worry about blowing Maggie 1.6 with clean power. I have heard the true ribbon tweeter on 3.6s can be blown rather easily though...
