Martykl, I applaud your solution. I originally bought the MMG straight from the factory and loved them. I only changed to the MG12 because I could take advantage of the factory sponsored full-trade in offer. Being able to go from 3.5 to MMG with DSP is the essence of being involved in this hobby. Thanks for your post. Listen every day.
Need Coaching re: Maggies & Subs
I'd welcome some experienced coaching re: the following scenario. Looking to purchase new Maggies (most likely 1.7's) to be driven by a Mac 402 Amp (400 watts per).
1. I have a smallish room (15.2'W x 14.2'D x 8'-9' (varying) ceiling height. Do smaller maggies work better in smaller rooms? or does it matter? I'm assuming placement in this room will be a bit challenging with ANY maggies...just wondering if staying smaller (mmg or 1.7) will help?
2. I'm growing convinced that I'd be happier by adding a good quality sub to the maggies. I listened to a rather expensive REL ($6K)...but after reading a stellar Absolute Sound review of a smaller REL T2 (less than $1K), I'm wondering if anyone has listened to this combination--and can recommend for/against?
I always get great coaching from my Audiogon mates and i'm sure this time will be no different. I welcome any and all to contribute. Thanks!
