General options are:
- Larger amp
- Bi-amping (not an option with the serial XO)
- Stereo Subs with higher XO point between subs and mains
- Larger Maggie panels (but need larger room)
Are you running the 1.7i's full range or using a high pass filter on them ?
If you are running a high-pass filter on the 1.7i's, what is the XO point ?

Thanks for the input. I'm running them full range. I was planning stereo subs down the road but may need to put the amp at front of the line. I got a decent deal on the McIntosh and had to try it out. Great sound.
McIntosh has been a mixed bag with Magnepans for many over the years.
I had 180wpc on 1.6's years ago and it was strained at higher volumes.
If you go the sub route, you will have to find stereo subs that match well with the Maggies. Using a high pass filter on your Maggies will take the bass load off the amp allowing the amp perform better on the Maggie's higher frequencies.
