Audiophiles in the Wild - They're on to us...
Great stuff here!  Although I made the grave mistake of starting it, and when I saw it was pretty funny decided to restart it and bring my wife in to watch it with me.  Then it got to the part of the “secret credit card” and it got pretty awkward…... 
Upgrade to PS Audio Direcstream Mk1 and Mac Mini?

Looking for a great front ported bookshelp speaker recommendation

MG12 QR Maggies with Mye stands, or 1.7i's with stock stands?
Thanks for the reply.  My room is in the basement with low ceilings (sadly) and oddly shaped - one wall opens to a stairway.  Basically 22' by 15' across, with 5' of it 6'3" ceiling, and the other 10' with 7'3" ceiling (darned plenum!). I have the... 
MG12 QR Maggies with Mye stands, or 1.7i's with stock stands?
Thanks - glad you are enjoying your speakers.  I'm wondering if I'd get close to that level of satisfaction with just adding the Mye stands to my 12 QR's.  They seem to be pretty close to the 1.7's - albeit a little smaller.  Have you compared you...
