Magnepan 1.6 fronts-what non-maggies center/sur
I also had a Def Tech Center (CLR 2500) and it sounded great. But the best non Maggie one that I had was an Anothony Gallo, I believe it was the precursor to the current signature model. 
Subwoofer Selection HELP ? ? ?

Subwoofer Selection HELP ? ? ?
OK, I have just made an executive decision and bought an SVS PC-Ultra 13 online. If I like it, I may buy a smaller version for music, or....... watch this website in the coming months for great deal on a big booming sub!!! 
Subwoofer Selection HELP ? ? ?
I had stopped thinking about the SVS, but what about a PC Ultra Cylinder and one of the smaller box subs for music? I wonder how that would work? Maybe a perfect marriage???Thoughts?? 
Best Ceiling Speakers?
For this type of system, I am going to commit herasey on this board, and say the Definitive Technology Ceiling speakers are great. So are the Niles HD ceiling speakers. The Def Tech 63 or 84's are a great choice, and put out a surprising amount of... 
Cary Tube Preamps HT passthrough
You have the SLP 05, what is the difference between that and the 98? Great advice on the HT Passthrough, sounds like a plan. I was leaning towards the 98, not sure with my system that the 05's extra cost would be worth it, but....Thx 
What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers?
No cone speaker has ever sounded right to me, just my preference, properly amped and it's really not that hard, I don't think anything touches Maggies. That is why there are so many Audiophiles with relatively cheap Magnepan speakers (3.6R's) matc...

Maggie 1.6 vs Von Schweikert VR 4
Part with the planars, test the waters. But you will be back, that's what I did. Once you go Planar, you never go back.

Maggie 1.6 vs Von Schweikert VR 4
If you go to a sub for music only to match with Maggies I would recommend the Vandy sub. Best match in my opinion. But I own a Velodyne DD12 because I use it for movies as well and I don't have a perfect room. The Vandy is great though, super fast.
