Maggies that will fit my QUAD's...

Can you suggest a Magneplanar speaker that can be powered by my QUAD mkII tube amps... they are rated at approx 12 watts @ 16ohm. A little to weak or what?

Thank you,
Dewald Visser

SMG and SMGa. Mated SMGa's with a Pilot 232 and a Pilot 240 3-4 years ago and ran SMG's with an Eico HF-81 in the early 1980's. Magnepan no longer refurbishes either model.
