I got some MMG's to see what all the fuss was about. I run them off an NAD c340 and also have a powered sub. I was quite impressed by these little guys, and I suspect that the 1.6 is much, much better. However, I couldn't live with the somewhat imprecise imaging, so I went back to regular bookshelf speakers. For now, I listen to my HT rig, which is Mission bookshelfs all around plus sub. I think it does most things better than the MMG's particularly dynamics. That being said, I don't think dynamics are a problem with 1.6 properly driven.Since you said you can go up to 4k, you should definitely listen to the 3.6! They have even less limitations than the 1.6, and when properly set up and fed adequate juice, I'm told that they can make magic!
FWIW, I'd think that either the 1.6 or 3.6 should represent quite a step up from your Tannoys.
Good luck!
