who lives closer than I do (Northern California) can step up to help out with a spare SS amp.I'm confident you would like the improvement in overall fidelity from the ZEROs, but I'm trying to be cautious and not give a blanket endorsement for an approach that might result in damage to your speakers. The Mg-1.6s are much less delicate than the ribbon tweeter models, so you would probably be able to detect clipping before you generated damaging high frequency energy. The sound should get hard (grossly distorted) at the loudest levels if your amp is clipping. This will be most evident on compressed recordings of continuously loud music, e.g. Tower of Power. Audiophile recordings of quiet classical music with a few loud, but short, transients would be more difficult to use.
You might want to contact Paul Speltz directly, to see if he has a return policy.
