MMGs

A year ago, I bought a pair of MMGs.  In my 13x22 room, placement was a challenge but finally worked it out.

Speakers are powered by an Adcom GFA-555.  The only source is a CD player through a passive pre-amp.

Now I have a little more to spend and would like thoughts on the following options:

1) Mye stands for the MMGs

2) The DWM panel with the MMGs (secondary question - can this panel be placed on a side wall perpendicular to the MMGs?)

3) 1.7s

Open to other out-of-the-box suggestions as well.

The goal is always to attain that Magnepan soundstage.  Musical tastes are female vocalists, jazz, blues.

I went through the Magnapan stage about 10 years ago, loved them and miss them. I had MMG’s, MG3A’s and 3.6’s with Mye stands. I used a BK 7220 with the BK preamp that had a passive mode. It worked well. You can find those amps for about 500 or less. Then I went with Khartago mono’s, a step up, then moved on to PASS X250 (The beast) with quality.

I saw here on A-gon the Nakamichi PA7, which is a PASS/Threshold amp for about $775, that’s a great amp and when you have time you can send it to someone to freshen up.

Then I would recommend moving up the Magnepan line .7 or the 1.7’s. Don’t buy old speakers unless your willing to re-glue them or send them back to the factory. get serial numbers and call the factory for age. If its less than 5 years your Ok.


Just my thoughts....enjoy
