Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Magnepan 1.7 or 3.7 purchasing advice please :)

People (Audiophiles) underestimate the visual impact of loudspeakers on the image the music signal create in our mind. Panels 24" wide are significant! BUT Acoustically this can work. The key it to have diffusion in the space behind the loudspeakers and then play with the toe in angle - maybe aggressively. If you were asking my advice though - with a narrow room with speakers aligned with the short end of the room. I'd forgo the big panels, go with the MC1 (or MMC2 or stick with the MMG's!) and then use the rest of your green for 2 or three Sub-woofers.

To enhance you listening experience - use the MMG's at the rear. Good surround processor - and - a way to Compensate for your room modes (Some Kind of DSP or EQ)
