@stroemberg what volume \ db are you listening at? It has to be a very low level. High current is the trick for Maggie's in my experience. So to make them really perform at the level they were design for I can't imagine a 30 watt amp doing the trick. Please explain your setup, size of room and listening level please.

Well, not so very high levels, I suppose.
If I remember it the dB-meter told me something around 90 dB peak. Classical symphonic music in a rather quiet room.
Still loud enough to give me an illusion of realism.
Maybe already mentioned, but this Accuphase amp is specified to class A 30/60 W 8/4 Ohms. But clipping actually occurs at 60/104 Watts respectively.

How much current do think goes through your Maggies? As they are almost a pure resistive load you can use Ohms law. 200 W in 4 Ohm is 7 A. 30 W in 8 will come out as 60 W in 4 Ohm or 120 W peak.
From our FWIW department?
My 1.6s have a 4amp fuse which has NEVER popped......on the upper frequencies which are goverened by an about 600hz crosover....
My MG-1 panels? Had a 1.5 amp fuse which I COULD and did pop....with a Carver Cube of a little over 200 a side into whatever impedance the speakers were.....5ohm? Maybe?
Too much is never enough
@rogergustavsson I honestly don't know but doesn't room size and listening levels matter?
