MMG 2.1 setup

I am hoping to build a 2.1 system with the MMG's
My MMG speakers with magnepan's DWM bass Panel will be arriving soon.
I am yet to decide on the amplifiers.
I am hoping that Emotiva USP-1 with their XPA-3 might
make this work....
Any advice on the set up or amplifiers??
Not sure if I can connect the DWM bass panel to XPA-3
Any input will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks a lot Josh!
In your setup, did u use a sub? The more I read about DWM, the more i get confused...the best application seems to be with the magnepan's center channel speaker.
Either ways do you recommend a good sub, in the event my DWM does not work as planned. I guess I am planning way too far before trying (I have a week off & hope to accomplish this setup).
By the way what cables r using in ur setup?
Thanks a lot..

Wow, thanks for your detailed response. I guess I will see what best I can achieve with this setup.
I am trying the monster cables for now.
The last venture of mine was the ML-ESL with Rotel amp with preamp...I just could not replicate what I heard at the audio store. I also auditioned the Paradigm Studio 100's with the Simaudio integrated amp, but the whole deal was costing 5000$ with good cables..
I guess my goal is a warm sounding setup for my tv room, the dimensions of which have been a challenge...and the fact that I am a novice to high end audio with time constraints is not helping this either.

Really appreciate your input!!

Hi Josh,

Everything makes sense!! MMG's do rock:)
I so far have auditioned as many as I could, but nothing beats these. I guess the only problem is the placement issue...the speakers themselves look great, problem comes when they have to be placed ~3 feet from the wall, messing the looks of TV....but, I am keeping them. I guess the sound that comes from these is hard to explain, it suits my taste quite a lot.
I can only imagine how ur Tympani's sound!!

I guess u still use the XPA-2. I am still trying to see a noticeable difference with and without the DWM bass panel with the MMG's. The DWM needs powered input & I am running the 2 MMG's throgh the DWM, like u had explained. In case I chose not to keep the DWM...would u suggest xpa-2 instead of xpa-3, I have now, any significant difference that I might notice?
I am rethinking the USP-1 per-amp, since it has only 2 channel output. Any per-amp that u recommend that will integrate well with the XPA & MMG's

Thanks a bunch!!
