RE: Excellent ...

Keep in mind that Magnepans are one of the most capable speakers at producing impulse transients like drum/cymbal percussion. These instantaneous changes in voltage approach infinite wattage/current in the instant they are generated.

The signal path from the source through to the amplifier all have to try to reproduce that signal/current demand, of course at lesser extremes with lower voltages. When it gets to the power amp, that current demand goes way up as it tries to drive the low impedance load (relatively) of the speakers.

So it really depends on the amp, and it's current delivery capabilities to be able to keep those notes sharp/accurate. Magnepans are so revealing that deficiencies of the amp can be heard, where they may not be with a standard speaker that's not 'fast' enough.
