I have 1.7s in a 13x15 room and they sound great. They are about 39" from wall and a little over 8' From listening chair. Bass trap in one corner and vinyl on shelves in the other rear corner. Bass is tight and a big wall of sound up front. I think good component matching is key with 1.7s.IMHO
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?
