Just got a Pioneer Elite A-35r integrated amp. It is rated for 65w at 4 ohms. My room is 12 x 15 and am wondering whether or not MMG's will handle this amp's output. I'm considering PSB and Paradigms also, but would like the Magnepans if they would work.
I would worry less about power and more about bass response depending on your musical needs...mmgs have limited response especially in a room 12 x 15...however if your primer choices are vocals,acoustic guitar,etc they would be perform fine...however...with any bass driven music like rock,reggae, electronica,etc,,,they will struggle...could add a sub....but at this price range...might be best to go with a driver speaker that can produce some LF...happy xmas
It isn't enough, and it doesn't have much to do with how loud - it's about transient dynamic peaks, which have a lot to do with timbral differentiation among other things. I highly recommend the MMGs but they require amplification upgrades up the chain.
