Connectors from cross-overs to drivers question
Always solder the leads to the drivers. It makes a better connection and if you don’t, corrosion can build up between the clips and the leads or the clips can fall off. I bought a roll of resin core, silver solder years ago. I believe it’s only 4%... 
Hello and "THANKS IN ADVANCE"
Went to many a party where 901’s were present.  They were a huge seller.  The only advice is not to play them screaming loud! It’s not good for them or your ears!  
What is your experience with amp power?
One of the best systems I’ve heard had tube, 40x2 watts going to some Acoustat speakers with a couple of small subwoofers. With the lower bass removed from the main speakers, 40 watts was more than enough power.  
WHEN DID YOU FINALLY STOP...

Integrated amp recommendation for Maggie .7's
The .7’s don’t really need a lot of watts,  what they need is a stable, high current amp.   Also, you might think about a small subwoofer (or 2). Once you take the bass from the speakers, 40 watts is more than enough. All the best.  
Low level listening
My KEF’s don’t start to blossom until 60-65 dbs and above, then they’re great! Not that they sound bad at lower levels.
