An oxymoron if I ever hoid one.
I think that people who use high quality speakers, especially ones that are as finicky to setup as the magnepans, in a HT atmosphere are way underutilizing them. They might do "ok" at double duty, but they will never sing with music like they should. How much quality does it take to reproduce car crashes, dino stomps, and the prerequisite background music of a movie soundtrack? Some yes, but as much quality as it takes to accurately and musically reproduce your favorite musicians? Hardly.
Ok, I'm done now.
