Multiply milk shake flow by big mac height to get power requirement.

Too much is never enough
The "Milk Shake Flow" factor can't be overlooked. If a merely "200 watt" rated amplifier might be inadequate to drive some Maggies (which fact my Magnepan dealer learned the hard way).
So I gather he turned the milk shake into a baked Alaska? Or did he end up with tweeter fries?
Big macs and milk shakes aside, that which I related applies to a 'blanket' claim that 200 watts are not needed to drive a Maggie, and that 25 watts are enough. In the case cited, some 200 watts didn't suffice, not for either its tweeter, midrange or bass driver.
(The dealer took the speakers back, refunding my payment.)
