Supposedly if your MS Alumni is Alumni 2 satellite, it is not so hard to drive by your 50W Marantz 1501. Although its impedance is 86dB, its power ratings is only between 15 - 80W.

Perhaps you should look at your AVR set-up once again. Ask somebody with experience to help with the tweaking. If you still feel not up your expectation, then consider upgrading your AVR first. I'm quite sure the MS Alumni are capable to do a better job.

Music is not to be denied.....

Yeah, me too. Btw, I have sold the m31i that i got from you last time. Upgraded to Dynaudio DM2/8 bookshelf. Now i have a floorstand and bookshelf and i swap between them when i am bored.


I do agree that the m31i is bigger and louder than it looks. Tho it lacks bass, but what can we expect from such a small speaker.
