How many "tube" watts do Maggie 3.5's or 6's need?


Im am looking to purchase a set of maggie 3.?'s. (Looking for a true ribbon tweeter) I am also in the middle of a switch to the "tube" side. How many watts do I need?

I agree with Jafox, the Maggies are great but you need very good amplification to drive them. I finally gave up on my 1.6s after using Innersound ESL amp, Plinius SA100 MKIII, Plinius 8200 integrated and Rogue 120 monoblocks. The Rogues were the only tube amps and at 120 watts sounded nice but no dynamic range. I finally gave up and now have low powered tubes and high effeciency speakers.
