RE: 1.6's used Vs. New MMGs

I have owned both of the speakers you are considering and I would suggest a used pair of SMGa as my first choice for you with the MMG a close second. Your NAD will produce a pleasant musical experience driving the SMGa or MMG.

If the speakers will see significant duty in a multimedia system or if you want live rock concert sound pressure levels, the MMG may be less speaker than you need.

The 1.6 is a very popular speaker. It can move a lot of air and produce surprisingly high SPL. I have owned 20 different planar speakers in my lifetime and to my ears the 1.6 sounds the least like speakers that I consider to be benchmarks for musical reproduction: Stax ESL-8, Martin-Logan CLS, and QUAD ESL.
