How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies


I have a 40 wpc el34 integrated tube amp and was thinking of mating it with a pair of maggies. i would probably start with the mmg's, and maybe work my way up. would this amp drive maggies? thanks.

I started with Magneplanar MG-1Bs in 1980 and in the last 26 years have upgraded through MG-IIBs, MG-IIIa's, detoured into Apogees and Martin Logans, and finally settled into a pair of Tympani IVa's.

For amps, I started with a Hafler DH-200, upgraded to a DH-220 and a DH-500, tried an Adcom GFA 555 and now have a Mark Levinson 23.5.

They can certainly gobble up the power, and I am thinking now about upgrading to even more powerful monoblocks.

Nonetheless, I would agree that it depends on your musical taste and your room.

I imagine in a small room, playing not the most dynamic or bass heavy music that even modest amounts of tube power would sound great.

Good luck.
