Still I=V/R. As the Magnepans driven active is a pure restive load there is not a lot of currrent running through them. The power amps used by myself will not run out of current but of voltage. They can deliver a maximum peak current of 80 A but that will only be the case with some completely stupid speakers which need to go back to the designing board. With the 4 Ohm basses of a Magnepan peak current may be about 10 A (400 W in 4 Ohm).

I think it depends on the amp, some amps spec'd at high voltage/wattage will fall short on current delivery under load with dynamics, which again will create higher than 'average' instantaneous current/voltage demands. A lower wattage amp that can deliver high current can be OK, if it can keep up with the instantaneous demand (at lower volumes, of course).
