Maggies take a "sh**load" of power to open them up, and get them sounding right. During my audition of the 1.6's, when they were first introduced, the schlock dealer had them hooked up to a 50 wpc amp!!! I was able to hear their potential, and bought them anyway. When connected to a 250 wpc Specton Digital 1 [500 wpc for the 4 ohm Maggies] they really sang, and I was quite happy with the increased fidelity resulting from more than enough power. Something for everyone to keep in mind when auditioning any Maggie.
But no, Maggies are not electostats, as previously mentioned!
