MMGs

A year ago, I bought a pair of MMGs.  In my 13x22 room, placement was a challenge but finally worked it out.

Speakers are powered by an Adcom GFA-555.  The only source is a CD player through a passive pre-amp.

Now I have a little more to spend and would like thoughts on the following options:

1) Mye stands for the MMGs

2) The DWM panel with the MMGs (secondary question - can this panel be placed on a side wall perpendicular to the MMGs?)

3) 1.7s

Open to other out-of-the-box suggestions as well.

The goal is always to attain that Magnepan soundstage.  Musical tastes are female vocalists, jazz, blues.

Chattaudio,

I have thought about Gunn before.  While his work is unquestionably worth the price, it leaves me with the Adcom driving the new speakers for at least a year.  Does that make it still worthwhile?  And would you use the year old MMGs or a pair of 1.6s if I could afford them?

I think the 1.6,  1.7 ,  and .7 , are all serious upgrades over the MMG

re Gunn - There is no advantage to changing the surrounds or in bracing the speakers.  If you think there is, then you do not understand how dipole speakers work.  But don't trust me, call up Wendell and ask him.

The x.7's (any of them) are a big advantage over previous speakers.

an Adcom is fine - you want good current output at 4 ohms

Maggies do NOT represent a complex impedance

I’ve seen MMG’s measured in UW-Madison engineering lab at 2.8 Ohms .
Not complex but LOW .
