The Maxima wasn't available for me to audition. My dealer said the Tradition is easier to drive since it's 90db vs 88db of the Maxima.

TommyC, I wouldn't worry about sensitivity. Smaller speakers are almost always less sensitive than larger ones but this doesn't mean they need more power. It all depends on your future plans. A tradition by all accounts is a tremendous speaker that would work well with a large class A Accuphase. If you have the funds and are really interested in a purchase, go with the Tradition and the small class A Accuphase. Then you can look forward to a future upgrade on the power. Again, at some point you are going to want to turn it up and for the speakers to perform, you will need at least 100 watts.
Best
