Which magnepan

It’s been a while since I have had a pair of  magnepans and wondering which pair to get.

room size is 18 w x 21 L , 8 ft flat ceilings.  This room used to be the master bedroom and still could be, but right now it’s the stereo room.       I did try the 3.6rs in there and they are to big for the room as they didn’t image right.   Before I had those, I had a pair of 2.6qr’s and they were in a different room and really enjoyed
those speakers....and sold them as I took a break for a bit.
do I get a pair of the new MMGi and add a sub ( svs ), or do the get the 1.7 ?

Or are there other ideas for speaker ideas for around $1k to $1500 that image well and have good sound stage?

Hello addyson815.

I recently switched to Magnepan 1.7i several months ago.
They are set up in a small room, and create a wide and deep soundstage.  I like them more than the Vandersteen 3A Signatures they replaced.

I concur with many other posts in this thread; power, vibration control, source/preamp (or no preamp)/amp components, cabling, are all factors.

These 1.7i's will keep me busy for years.  I love them both for music and movies, and are a lot of fun.
