Yesterday, I received my Maggie MMG's. Put old Peter Tosh on again...this time, due to power hungry Maggies, need about '30' for appoximate same volume.

2 cuts - poof. No sound. 'Stand By' still on, so good. Wait 10 minutes, pull & plug cord back in...music works again.

Moral; the little overachieving JVC is acting it's price now. Weak power supply can't drive 4 ohm loads to high levels without overloading. Nice that it has some fail safe built in...funny that it didn't oscillate or show strain until 'poof' time. Best paired with 87db+ speakers and relatively normal loads. So, be forewarned.
