I was gifted a set of 1.6s with the mc1 surrounds and a cc3 center. I am also curious on powering these. I purchased a used Denon AVR3600 DTS for $50 on craigslist just to see if it all works. It sounds good for now. I have a PrimaLuna EVO 300 Integrated which really makes the 1.6 sing! I wonder if there is a way to do a hybrid set up using the PrimaLuna for the 1.6s and the denon for the center and surrounds. Curious.
Think of buying a Magnepan Surround Setup
Hi Everyone-- I've auditioned a lot of speakers over the last couple months (PSB, Viena, B&W, KEF, and Maggies) and really feel no one comes close to the Mag 1.6s w/with c2 center and mgc's1 in the rear. However I'm worried about feeding these babies anough power without breaking the bank. I have a great deal on a Denon4802 (1500)-- what are your opinions about this combination? Another option in the price range is the Outlaw 950/770 combo for about another 1000 (2500). First, what are other folks experiences with specific AV/receivers w/ built in amp (perhaps denon). Second, for under 2500 what controllers/amp combos should be on my short list.
thanks!
thanks!
