Maggie 1.6's and Power. How much is enough?


I have a great offer on a pr. of Maggie 1.6's but only have a Marantz SR 19 receiver ( 120watts x 5). Is this going to be way to small for these speakers. It will be for H/T in a smaller room. Thanks for any Idea's!!

In a small room you will probably have enough power for most of the time. I think the bigger problem is the smaller room. These speakers sound their best when you get at least 10 feet away, 12-15 feet is better, and they like to be far away from the walls as well. My room is 13 x 20 and just big enough for me.
They are excellent speakers and will sound better and better as you improve your system.
