They (Magnepan) probably feel a bigger driver won't be quick enough for the panels. You should not let them dictate your personal tastes and circumstances (and I doubt Magnepan has even heard with a huge variety of subs). Is the primary use of the sub movies or music? If music, what do you like to listen to and how loud? Have you analyzed your room with an RTA? If not you may wish to consider test tones (either downloaded or on a disc) in conjunction with an SPL meter (rivesaudio.com makes a $21 disc that is made to work with the Radio Shack SPL meter) to get an idea. Are you planning to treat the room at all (after you measure)? Not that familiar with the Yamaha but a bigger concern to me is whether it will drive the Maggies properly w/o an outboard amp. I have a friend with the MMGs and a Rotel rec'r and he has an outboard amp in a small to medium sized room.So in essence it is really up to how you will use the products. If you have an average car that has 150hp it is more than enough to get you around town. If you're going to drag race with it, then you have a different situation. Rel subs are nice, they have 2 inputs, one for HT and one that connects to your amp with its own volume control and separate flexible crossover that can be mated to your speakers and room for music playback. They are pricey and not necessarily the biggest bang for the buck for HT output.
