WoW, I have to admit your idea sounds pretty absurd. I don't think it would work well at all. But if there was a prize for expensive esoteric blunders I think you'd be in the running! Also, I'm selling some real estate you might want to look at. Party on!
Soundlabs and magnepan mix on front stage?????
Building a home theater/2-channel listening system from scratch. I was leaning towards the soundlabs M-3 or A-3 used (don't own them yet). I like the soundlabs because they have a bit larger sweet spot and are less directional than the maggie 3.6's (my second choice).
My thought originally was to run three of the maggie 3.6's for the front, center and right but found them to be a bit to focused. Now leaning towards the soundlabs for the left and right speakers but still thought one of the 3.6's would make a great center channel.
The maggie is a 4 ohm load where the soundlabs run at 8 ohms. I was worried about speaker compatibility. Anyone run a setup similar to this, I know it's a little out there.
My amp plan was to run a Sim Audio Titan with MGM Maggies on the back wall for the surrounds. Let me know what you think.
Thanks.

I have seen a couple of different systems using three 3.6's across the front, not as crazy as you might think. Obviously it makes more sense to run three of the same speaker but I like the soundlabs better. BTW, where is your property, I might be in the market if the price is right. Constructive responses are always appreciated. http://www.myesound.com/Magnepanstands.html |
I set up an all Apogee surround system a few years back. SACD surround was just hitting the market. It sounded very good, although there were not enough good recordings, at that time. I still have a few Apogees (4)....I'd need to buy one more, to give it another go. If you are going to use it for movies also (with a projector)...you need something that is not to tall (unless you can hide it behind the screen?). I used an Apogee Centaur Minor. Of course, for music only....it doesn't matter how tall the center channel is. Something like this would be good also: http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrplan&1212531235 You will need subwoofers for home theater. Good luck, Dave |
