Sounds like you might have some budget gear. The vandersteens will most likely sound good with a wider range of budget gear. The mmgs can sound amazing with the right amp and ok with others. Try Naim. The naim gear controls the bottom end of maggies like very few amps. With most amps I agree with Mcreyn on the sub, but the bottom end of my mmgs with my naim gear is punchy and detailed. But you do want nearly three feet behind the mmgs.
Magnepan MMG or Vandersteen 1C
Looking for opinions on which one of these pair of speakers would work best in a small 15X10 room with 8 foot high ceiling. The system has to be set up against the 15 foot side of the room. I've been using Martin Logan Aerius i in this room for the past 12 years -they're placed 7 feet apart, 3 feet out from the front of the speaker to the wall behind them, and are toed in. The Aerius i's work good in this small room, but at times I feel like the speakers are too large for the room, so, I feel like trying something different and a little smaller. I don't care for small monitors. Thanks for your thoughts.
