Let's face it, you can listen to anything with 100 watts, but your system will never sing. I wouldn't be happy with anything less than 200, but more is even better. 400 watts? Now you're talking...peace, warren

'twould be like trying to catch your breath, breathing though a cocktail straw, playing any Maggies, pariculary these, with 100 watts....or less..fwiw
