Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ??

Get a pair of used Ohm's.  Save the cash, and Ohm's support is damn good.

That is, if you can find a pair to your liking.

I wouldn't mess around with the Maggies if you listen to any rock.  They do what they do quite well.   But that is just me.

Ha right well if any consolation my wife likes speakers out of the way and no wires showing.

LOL!

That "in the middle of the room" stuff about Maggies is way exaggerated.

mapman, thanks for the 'house tour'..*S*  I've been wondering what/where/how you've been set up, knowing you're an Ohm fan....

soundchasr, my spouse likes our SMGa Maggies too....half-way into the room is a non-starter, but for the sake of martial bliss I've a devious plan.  Some will cringe, but....'X' for Y...;)

The rest of my thoughts on Walsh speakers is known to most, so I'll just hold my tongue on that. *S*  One can do as well, but will spend more to do so...imho....

Happy listening, soundchasr...👍...whichever way you go....
