Heard Maggie 3.7i with..

...a Rogue Cronus Magnum driving them. The combo sounded surprisingly great. I was surprised that a 100 wpc amp could drive them so well. Anyone else have experience with "low" powered amps and Maggies. When I've had Maggies, I've always had amps in the 150 to 250 (8 ohms) range.  Though I now have Golden Ear Triton1s, I think I will eventually have Maggies again. I've heard the Cronus with T1 and it's also a great combo. 

I guess the point of all this is that while I generally believe you should choose speakers first and then choose the amp to drive them, I'm thinking of getting the Rogue now and the Maggies in the future. Mistake? Thoughts?

Because you are a Woman? Please, that has nothing to do with it. Maybe it's because if we don't spend 50K on a system with every expensive cable & placebo gadget on the market we don't even rate. It seems to be all about the money with you & how much you got to spend.

jeffwyo with 8 posts and joined November 21, 2018? And that means you have read all 6000 plus posts over 15 years I have written?You're new and I forgive you. (usually I would just rip someone complaining about or to me to shreds )                        
One point about my, and others, commenting on what was spent. It is not bragging, it is reporting so folks who read understand what the cost was. If the writer does NOT include the cost very often another poster will ask. So one gets into the habit of stating right up front what it cost. The cost offers a framework, not to brag, or gloat, but to allow anyone to know what sort of level of stuff in being discussed Just saying..    Particularly if it is currently on sale, So others can get the deal if so inclined. 
Unusual for me, after eight years of few upgrades except a couple of cables, I really went all out in 2018. So a lot of my posts this year are about what I bought... How it changed what I hear, any problems (particularly with the Furutech duplex changing sound back and forth)Plenty of others enjoy reading about stuff others acquire. And want to know all about it.(to the point they are outraged I will not hand them a full review)                             
BTW I have never insulted anyone over having a small or inexpensive system, I say anyone who enjoys music and wants something to listen to it is an audiophile.               
See. I can play nice.
