Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Magnepan 1.7 or Sierra-2s?

The Sierras will require you to buy a nice pair speaker stands if you don't already own a pair.

The Sierras might be easier to mate seamlessly with standard box subwoofers, though, should you ever desire better bass extension at a reasonable price. I think that dipole subwoofers sound best with dipole speakers, but dipole bass can be both expensive and space-hogging. A pair of Hawthorne Audio Augie 15" dipole drivers, matching Hawthorne Audio pre-cut baffles, and an outboard subwoofer amp will cost you at least $1000 - and that is the cheapest dipole solution I can think of.
