ancient thread. just picked up my second pair of mmgs. bought the first pr. from mag., and took the upgrade offer to 1.7s. added myestands, and used the 1.7 happily for a number of years. finally resolved that my room is just a bit small, (14x19’), so i moved them on. ff to now, the mmgs sound better to me! rogue cronus magnum 2. first setup had a strong room resonance, moved’em back to 34” from the rear wall, much better. i’m putting together some diy stands. the fact that i have grown to prefer about 85 db max loudness puts these in a sweet spot. they really allow me to concentrate on the music. there’s a pair of thiel 3.6s in the basement system if i need a slam fix. my bottom line is that the mmg is good enough. and that is really really good.
