Your next stop should be minimum of 2x the current power, plus::
So, 100 a side? I'd double down again and go for 200 a side. Anything less will not be enough, IMO.
The 95 watts of the Sansui won't be enough, I guarantee it. You'll want to trade up again in 6 months.
2 things going on here. Steady level and Peaks. By going to the Sansui you will add power for peaks. You will be able to turn it up just a little.....than be back where you are now.
I'd save for another couple months and see if I could go up the food chain a bit.
Your new Magnepans will put more strain on an amp but are really not a 'bad' load. You might not have noticed, but your Nikko is running warmer than it did before the panels.....or did it come with the panels?
A good, NEWER, more powerful amp can be found in the likes of NAD and some others.
