Danielk141 - building system around primo pair of Snell AIII's. After testing six amps on them, they clearly need as much power as you can give them. Issue clearly demonstrated. Not just chasing big numbers.... Thanks
Gshepard, I definitely want to hear the Snells with a couple of MC 501's or more power. Like to think the 7000 and 452 weren't enough power and 501's would be less "warm". Thanks.
Devilboy, LOL! The Snells do require a commitment! Size of small refrigerators and 150 lbs a piece! But there's a reason they often make the 10 Best Speakers ever list. Certain cult thing as well. The AIII was headed for production release when Peter Snell dropped dead at age 38 (?) in his shop in 1984. A great talent lost to the art and science of audio. Thanks.
Devilboy, I agree that my subject line is over simplified. A more accurate assessment would be at least 500wpc with ability to deliver more. The 900 watt in 4 ohm Magtech is what set the standard for preferred performance. To Unsound's point, the room is large and open with pitched, vaulted ceiling. Thanks
