" ... But using 5k worth of electronics to push $300 speakers? Absurd. ..."Not really ... I have a pair of the MMG-Ws as well and have them installed at the office driven by an older Sony "current dump" amp feeding from a SqueezeBox and LAN of Macs ... I added the least expensive powered sub woofer I could find (~US$40) with a rolloff around 150 htz. They hang on the door frame of a 12 foot wide entry way between the main office area and a small inventory room. ... iTunes Internet Radio now feeds into both rooms very well = good separation, nice defination, space saving and unobtrusive. I recommend 'em ... so a friend is installing a pair in his house boat, again for a space saving measure as much as the listening quality.
My main home system has the slightly larger MMGs as mains supplimented by a good sized sub woofer, all driven by DIY MOSFET amps (3 channels) sourced from a tube pre-amp, a tube phono pre-amp, an Oppo Digital DVD-A / SACD player and a MacBook connected through an Echo Digital AudioFire4 24 bit DAC. I like 'em a whole lot and have tried several alternates to these mains, but I have found nothing better so far ... Yes, the electronic investment is easily a factor of 10 greater than the costs of the planar speakers ... but, so what, its the results, not the costs of the speakers that matters ... and I believe the results are quite good.
