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.

Rogue 120 with Maggie 1.6 will play loud enough for most but was (oddly) lifeless sounding to me. An Innersound ESL amp (SS) with 600+ watts sounded much more vibrant and alive.

yes 40 watts will work for low volume listening but you will find yourself wanting more power if you want any kind of volume.

FWIW I ended up selling my 1.6s because I got frustrated looking for a suitable amp that I could afford.
