  40 watts 8 ohms, I would assume doubled into 4. Manufacture claims 200 watts peak into 4 ohms. I know this is the very low end of power for Magnepans. Just wondering what kind of trouble I would run into at moderate volume in a small room.

    Before I bought my MMGs I borrowed a pair of 12s from my local dealer to try in my small room - smaller than yours. They worked great but I didn't have the cash for the 12s at the time so I decided to give the MMGs a try since I could return them if I didn't like them. I immediately found the MMGs to be much more efficient than the 12s, despite the two models having the same efficiency rating. I played a pair of SMGbs for years with an old Adcom GFA 535 rated at 60 W per side into 8 Ohms with no problems. I don't think you'd have a problem. If you do get them I suggest hooking them up turning on your system to repeat play something with some heavy bass and walk away for at least 8 to 10 hours. Mine sounded horrible out of the box and continue to improve four months later.
