It will work but you won't, in my opinion, hear how the MMGs are capable of sounding.

Driving Magnepan MMG's with 50 wpc Rawson GC
I recently purchased a 50 wpc Rawson Gainclone from the man himself and am using it with my Totem Arros. The sound is great! Both the MMG and the Arros are 4 Ohm and just a db apart in sensitivity: The Totems being 87db; the Maggies being 86db.
So, today I just bought a pair of MMG's direct from Magnepan and am faced with needing to buy another amp (and I really like this little Rawson). My understanding is that Magnepans in general require big-time current.
Am I out of luck even thinking of using the little Rawson to attempt to power them? Am I going to have to go back to using my Sony ES's internal amp? (110 wpc into 8 Ohm - electronically switchable to 4 Ohm)
There are a couple of nice Bryston 3B's on this site right now. I may have to sell some things and look in that direction.
Let me know what you guys think.
