+1 in agreement with gymwear about the~113db levels being obtainable. My setup is at this time: A pair of used MG 1.5 QR's: $500.00. 1 Crown XLS-602 amp; Class AB, 600 w/ch all day into 4 ohms: $300.00. 1- Rythmik Audio 15" Servo Sub kit + wood + skinned knuckles and a couple quarts a' beer: about $600.00. Being able to shake both floors of my house with any good organ recording, or have Mike Portnoy's double kicks beat my brains out: you guessed it; priceless! The picture of my drumset was not completely necessary, and I apologize. I just wanted to put to rest any comments along the lines of " you don't know what rock levels are". I play my drums and then walk appx. 25' down a hallway and sit in front of my stereo setup. No, the Maggie/Rythmik/Crown setup is not as loud as my drums, but it sounds very close to realistic at nearly realistic levels. For $1,400.00 I call that a real bargain. For something that you can listen to rock on at nearly realistic levels in a 14' x 14' room, then put on some Steely Dan or Jennifer Warnes or Rimsky-Korsakov, it's hard to beat the compromises with a stick. IMHO, MMG's about 3' from any wall with a little bit of treatment on the rear wall will net you nice imaging, and if you want to move them out into the room, they are super easy to move. BTW: I just saw a report on some Cerwin Vega towers in an isuue of TAS. Harley praised them for being pretty neutral and not screwing the music too badly. They also have 2 15" woofers per side. I think they were about $1,000.00. Good Luck on your journey!
