Thanks. I have not found the Maggies need lots of power. Yeah, the 35 wpc Dyna ST-70 didn't do it for my MG-IIBs, but I found, as you mention the Cit II will, something like the C-J MV-75 or Prem 11A - 70-75wpc - do just fine with MMGs or 1.6QRs. I would agree this is about as little power as you'd want/need. I've used bigger amps - Dynaco ST-416, C-J Prem 12s, Adcom GFA-555 II, Odyssey Stratos - all to good effect. PLENTY of drive, but don't think they sounded better or otherwise worked better than the amps in the 75 wpc range.
Having said that, there are good transistor integrateds that have plenty of power for the less sensitive speakers I own, and some of them are not so efficient, like the Maggies and Spicas. I'd prefer tubes, though. I was thinking a tubed integrated in the 50-75 wpc range would do.
