Magnepans speakers from SMGA to MG-IIB in the past. I agree with what everyone said. They do require lots of power but not just brute power mind you but power with finesse and very stable that can withstand an impedance all the way down to 2 ohms.

The best power amp that I used to drive my Maggie MG-IIB was the Audio Research D-250 tube amp that put out 250/w at 8 ohms. It sounded very open and smooth with silky top end coupled with articulated bass.
