Bob Carver & Stereophile proved that, as he adjusted the transfer functions of his amplifiers to match - well - whatever he wanted. The loudspeaker load and dynamics also are involved. Back around 1981 or so I was second jobbing at a hi-fi store. A customer wanted to compare 100Watt Amplifiers - SAE and the APT Holman One with his loudspeakers (Rectilinears). In our store the APT almost always bested or at least matched the SAE with the B&W, JBL, McIntosh, DCM loudspeakers we offered - but with the customer's Rectilinears the APT was not up to the SAE performance. Of course - the customer didn't but the SAE from me - he walked out and saved $50 by using Mail order :b
As for Magneplanars - they are inherently inefficient but are capabile of good dynamics if you give them lots of power. 300 Watt minimum even for the lowly MMG's I use.
