Good evening all,

I own a pair of 4 ohm 86 db "efficient" magnepan MMGs, and need to purchase a new amp. The 1070 certainly has huge bang for the buck appeal, but I'm concerned about its ability to drive these speakers at levels I'm used to. I currently have an Acurus A250 with a dying/dead left channel. I love the headroom afforded by this much power and regret having to replace it.

This is all in a spare bedroom that I have converted into a small front projection home theater. Right now all audio is stereo, but I want to transition into surround and multi-channel audio. However, I think that 7.1 may be unneccessary given my room size (10x12 ft). 5.1 should be plenty.

* Can I use 4 channels of the 1070 to biamp? * I have outboard electronic crossovers, but if this could be done internaly - all the better. If this is not a current option, it seems like an easy option to add in software. Give users the ability to have either 7.1 full range or 5.1 with the L/R mains biamped using internal crossovers.

But back to my main question: how's the 1070 on difficult loads?

Thanks,
Jay
