One other minor point?
Magnepan conventional wisdom is More good Watts = Better. I can't argue with that except my needs are more modest and with an A23 Parasound per panel....which is 200x2 I don't ever come close to tapping out my amps.. These amps play as loud or louder than the PSAudio I had years ago with 500x2 4ohm watts. It was a 'D' amp.
But what IF a panel were an honest 3db more sensitive? Or 6db? Required amp power drops and the cost of a system may stay the same....More for the speakers? LESS for the amp. This cuts into running expenses, too. Especially for the Tube guy who may need output tubes replaced.
Let's say my 'new' panels are over 3db more sensitive than my 1.6s? I would need only 1 amp, not that pair I now have. Savings? About 1000$ at retail for the amp. Could an 'improved' 1.6 gone more than 1000$ more than what I paid for 'em?
Too much is never enough
