I tried to run a rebuilt HK Cit-II tube amp at 60 wpc with a pair of Maggie 1.7's, but Merlin TSM BME Monitors just sounded better with that amp (sold the Maggies). I like Maggies and some day may try a pair of the new Maggie 1.7i's, but it will be with a SS Amp at 150+ per channel. I'm not an expert on Maggies, but I've always heard they like power to sound good - - - if not exceptional. I don't know the current pricing of the 1.7i's, but at around $2K they are a heck of a speaker with the right amp. As the Tool Man would say, MORE POWER! Just an opinion.
