I spent quite a time auditioning 1.6s, ordered them more than four months ago. Just received 12s which will eventually be rear speakers. After just a few days, I am certainly in love with the 12s, but they are a shadow of the 1.6s. Large orchestral passages were noticeably better with the 1.6s as was rock. The Diana Krall "Love Scenes" CD couldn't be better on any speaker, I think. I assume the much larger panels contribute more than just bass to this result. I am not complaining about the 12s but if that is all I had, then I would add a REL sub to them.
I hope to have the 1.6s in a month and will give you my opinion again if you are interested. I can't resist comparing them in identical environments. WAF is not a problem here. She loves the sound enough. MG20s, however . . . ;-)
