Hi guys. Looking at a used pair of 1.7...My room is 10 x 14 x 9. Corner traps at front wall (wall behind speakers). 1st and 2nd reflection points absorption (removable if it doesn't work out). Low to moderate listening levels...small ensemble jazz, vocals, piano and acoustic guitar. Nothing heavy...not even pop. Here's where a big problem could arise... My amp is tubed (kt-88) and is only putting out 35wpc. Any chance of it being adequate? Thanks.
Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room?
I'm planning on upgrading my speakers soon and want to go back to Magnepans. I'm considering MG12s but came across nearly new 1.7s on Craigs List for a good price. Problem is, my room is only 10x13x8', but I can do anything I want to it. It already has three bass traps, (two in front corners, one at ceiling wall juncture in back) and 24 1x2' Auralex absorbers spaced around the room. Floor is hardwood with a big think area rug. Anyone put 1.6s or 1.7s in a room of similar size?
