In Reply to: 1.6's used Vs. New MMGs posted by alan.gary.sanders on November 18, 2015 at 15:14:14:
The MMG's are spectacular speakers, and not just "for the price". The 1.6's are more of the same, and would fill your room better. I would say go for the 1.6's in a heartbeat, but...
Do you know how old the 1.6's are? They were introduced in '98, so you'll want to make sure that they're healthy- no bass wire delamination issues. This can easily be discerned by demo-ing them with some low frequency test tones, by shining a bright flashlight through the fabric to inspect for loose wires (they usually start at the top/ bottom when they go), and by simply feeling for them.
Don't be scared if you do run into this little bump in the road. If you're even remotely a DIY type person, look at it as an opportunity to get a little discount on the speakers. It's easily fixed, permanently, with a bit of DAP, and the process is well documented here on A.A.
Hopefully, the 1.6'are fine for now, and you can run them for a long while as-is. It depends on when they were built.
So, yeah, I'd still go with the 1.6's in a heartbeat for your size of room. You just need to demo them, and be prepared.
Best,
Cory
