MMG's with a Tube amp?

Here is one for all the Maggie lovers. I have the Antique Sound Labs Wave 20ds. These wonderful little Tube monos put out 20 watts per channel. I am looking to upgrade speakers and I love the maggy MMG's but I know they are power hungry. Will these little amps drive these speakers?

Thanks a lot

I don't think 20 watts is going to be enough. The one real good thing about the MMG's is, when you get sick of them.( you will get sick of them) You can easily get your money back out of them.
I ran 120 watts into mine. I had 2 pair at one time. I think that was just enough.

I've used the MMG's with a great many tube amps, and would recommend an absolute minimun of 75 watts, with 100 and more being preferrable. Sure, they cab be enjoyed with less power, but it takes 100+ to develop their full potential.
