So, it is more important to satisfy a nebulous ratio handed down
from who knows where, than to have a system that performs to
your needs.

Do you know what will happen if you exceed this ratio? probably,
nothing. At worst, the motors will run a little warmer. Check
with Mariss if you are using Gecko drives, but I suspect that if the
driver is rated for higher voltage, there will be no harm in testing
that way. If the motors get too warm for your liking, you can
look into other motors and other solutions. But really, the
fundamental differences between running a 2 V winding motor
at 40 V and 70 V should not be very significant. The 70 V
power supply should allow you to go nearly twice as fast before
losing steps.

Are these 4 , 6 or 8 wire motors?
