That reviewer is an idiot & the Maggie .7 is a questionable product. Any loudspeaker that is so poorly designed that it NEEDS a mega high current amp to play is simply a poor design. The Apogee speaker from the 80s & the original CLS from M-L were the same. Both had crazy low impedance swings (0.3 ohm - 0.7 ohm at ~16 kHz) that toasted amps. Just bad design. Who cares how good it sounds if the design is flawed.

Neither of those speakers would present a problem load to any good quality amplifier. Both of them deserve a high quality amplifier, however. If you liked them with Krell, the Parasound, B&K or Acurus would be my cheap picks.
