RE: SET Monoblocks to drive Maggie 12s

They produce 83dBSPL at 1W (they state 86dB at 2.83V which is one Watt into 8Ohm or 2W into 4Ohm which these speakers are rated at).

Assuming a SET produces 4W before clipping you should not be listening at more than 77dBSPLrms, 74dB if you sit 2m away from them or 71dB at 4m. Any louder than that and you are mostly modulating distortion.
You could listen a bit louder if your musical taste is restricted to heavily compressed pop or rock though.
