NHT Superones or Magnepan MMG W?

NHT Superones or Magnepan MMG W?

Hello,

I am getting a woodstove installed where my Snell EII speakers were set-up. So now I need to purchase some smaller on-wall speakers, and have looked at NHT Superones or Magnepan MMG W. These choices will be coupled with a nice Velodyne 12 inch powered Subwoofer.

I remember liking the sound of the Superones 5 or 6 years ago. The Maggie’s have a strong following and review very well. My only concern with the Magnepan speakers is: they are power hungry and the placement seems to be somewhat critical. 80% of my listening is done wile walking around and/or doing chores – 20% watching TV.

The 5-channel source is a surprisingly nice sounding Pioneer digital receiver that puts-out 50 watts X 2 channels, or 25 watts X 5 channels.

Advice is needed. It hurts to put the Snell’s away they are wonderful sounding.

I've ruled out the Maggie's based on the fact I don't have enough power.

How about the speaker choices of:

* NHT Superones XU.
* Snell Type M
* Snell OBX 15, QBX 20

I love the sound of the Snell EII's and want to get close to that style of warm full sound. The soft dome tweeter has a lot to do with that!
