I was referred to this forum by Magnepan owners. Is the newer Bryston 2Bsst sufficient to power up a maggie 1.6QR? At 180 watts @ 4ohms it seems like plenty but I am told that it is not enough or it will "run out of steam". The recommended power for theses speakers is between 100 - 200 watts. Currently, I use a 50 watt tube amp with ok results but I recently tried it with an 80 watt amp and it really brought out a bit more characteristics that the speaker is known for. Additionally, I noticed that at lower volumes the music was fuller and therefore I did not have to turn up the volume to get more out of the amp. The 80 watt amp is nowhere near the quality of the tube amp but it pointed out the fact that MAggies do need more power so I am looking at 2BSST which seem a bit more affordable to me. The room dimensions are 15 x 13. Please let me know what the 2bSST sound characteristics are (low, mids, highs, etc), are they analytical or warm, all that good stuff. Lots of detail is appreciated. I am very curious. Thanks
