Followup-Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room?
Well since I started this thread in relation to Magnepans in my small listening room I suppose I should share what's been going on. Instead of waiting until I have the funds to pick up a pair of 1.7s, I took advantage of Magnepan's MMG trial and t... 
Followup-Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room?
Bombaywalla, sorry, guess I was making assumptions. Wife says I do that a lot. So I'm confused, how can the Lft-8bs be time coherent? Doesn't the length of the panels cause the same problems? BTW, do you have any experience with them? I've conside... 
Followup-Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room?

Need Advice For A large Room 2 Channel Speaker
Since Magnepans thrive in large spaces I would take advantage of that and enjoy their larger panel openness. As already stated though, you'll need power to drive them. 
Speakers vs. headphones
You said you haven't tried bass traps. Bass traps transformed my room, 10x13x8. I finished it off with 24 1x2' SoundTrax Pro acoustic panels through out the room. Twelve on the back wall behind the listening chair and twelve on the side walls, six...

Timrhu, did you have bass traps in the room? 
Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room?
Thanks for all the responses everyone. There seems to be a lot of different opinions on the subject though. My dealer will let me borrow a set of MG12s for a weekend and that should help me make a decision, though I tend to think 1.7s would probab... 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?

Good inexpensive temporary speakers
