I was reading a review of the 3010S2 - the lab report said it delivered 555 watts into 4 ohms.
Anyone tried these with Maggies?

I have a 3010S2 out for delivery as I type this.
But no Magnepans!
Maybe if they ever get the .7's out......

Get used MMGs or 1.6 of recent vintage so you can tell us...
I will donate $1 to get you started

So far so good, so where is the maggie?
Call White Bear Lake and tell them to get on with the .7!

Looks promising for an MMG or any maggie in a small room, and could work with any maggie so long as a subwoofer or two takes the bottom two octaves off its hands. I doubt it is enough to do a 20.x in a any but the smallest rooms that can accommodate it.
The link you provided states 110 watts into 8 ohms. There is no way, if that spec is correct, that it can produce 555 watts into 4 ohms? Maybe in mono, if it can even be bridged.This review shows a "dynamic" power rating of 555 watts into a 2 ohm load. Okay maybe.

I have the pdf of the review, but can't find the link. It's from Hi-Fi News.
Their lab report said:
175wpc into 8 ohms
225wpc into 4 ohms
555wpc into 2 ohms
So I got the 2 and 4 ohm mixed up. Still, seems pretty good to me. They said it was 'very tolerant of difficult loads'.

It still doesn't make any sense. The amplifier de-rates (as expected) when moving from an 8 ohm to 4 ohm load, but then un-de-rates (and more than doubles its power) when moving from a 4 ohm to 2 ohm load. :)
Measurements/specifications from somebody who doesn't understand what they're doing and/or doesn't proof-read their words.

I can take the word of the lab people at Hi-Fi News, the oldest and most respected audio magazine in the world or I can listen to 'Dave from the internet'.
Tough call.

The problem is you'd take either one's word for it. :)
Do a little research/education and then form your own opinion on whether those numbers make sense.
Dave.
The number in the first post; 555w/ch. into 4 is actually into 2, and it's "dynamic power".
The other post where it was shown 175, 225, 555 should have been 175, 325, 555. Dynamic power. All ratings into <1% THD, not fabulous. Still, it does appear stable down to 2 ohms (?) which is a good sign...
225W/ch. into 4 might be OK for some.
