Definitely go with the 1.7s. For what it's worth, in my system when my Rel subwoofer blew a diode, I picked up a PSB subsonic 5i for $100 and it integrated with with my 1.7s perfectly and I like its sound better than the Rel which ten times as much! Just my experience. I started with mmgs... 1.7s are MUCH better at everything. You won't be disappointed. They take awhile to break in though. They get better for a year.
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.
