Just in terms of difficult speakers to drive. When I first fell in love with my (now sold) Magnepan 1.7's, I mistakenly believed (because me dealer led me to that conclusion) that I could drive them with a 65 watt tube integrated amp. What a mistake that was. The speakers sounded flat and lifeless, nothing like the way they sounded during the demo sessions.

Then I discovered the Musical Fidelity 550K Superchargers. When I acquired a pair (now sold) and placed them in the system...WOW!... what a huge difference 750 watts made. Clarity, resolution, dynamics, all when off the charts. I was in love again. Downside. The system ran smoking hot!

Moral of the story? Good quality power cannot ever be dismissed or underestimated. If I owned the Salon 2's, I'd personally put a KW on them. Just my 2 cents gents.
