They don't need extra current''' Their loading of amplifiers is relatively friendly for a 4 Ohm speaker - no bad phase angles. I'd go for power - just make sure you amp can handle 2 ohms in stereo, 4 ohms in mono. Note also that in bridged mode the output impedance of the amp is doubled. Again not that much of an issue with maggies, Unless the output impedance is already a bit high... then the midrange impedance bump may cause shift the tonal balance a bit.
