What's the new Maggie speaker like? Bigger than a 20.1?? 
Whic CD player would you pick and why
None, I would rip all of my music to WAV or AppleLossless files and buy a good DAC coming from a Duet/AppleTV/MacMini/Transporter. 
How much room for Magnepan 1.6qr?
Maggies have an amazing soundstage, as many have said, and have a truly transparent sound. Vocals are like no other speaker I have EVER heard. The 1.6 in that room won't overpower it, but I don't think it will be optimal either. I think the smalle... 
How much room for Magnepan 1.6qr?
they will be fine as Shinytoys mentioned, but the MMG's with a nice sub might be all you need in that room. 
How can you not have multichannel system
I don't like it as well. I have owned/listened to/auditioned many multichannel systems, and found that I liked stereo much better.Fewer moving parts, and in most cases the music was recorded with the express purpose of reproducing it in stereo, I ... 
Help chossing a good speaker. $ 3-5 K

What's wrong with Velodyne?
Just to clarify, I didn't hear the JL Audio 113 in a shop, or with a dealer, I had it in my system, along with a DD-15 for comparison. The DD-15 was every bit as good, or actually better. It could have been the imperfect room, but the set up progr... 
Blu-Spec Kind Of Blue
I need to be honest, I am going to buy an Oppo BluRay when it comes out, even though I am not a true believer. It's just too cool that is will be truly universal player. Need something to play my now dead SACD's, DVD-Audio's, DVD's and soon to be ... 
Blu-Spec Kind Of Blue
Larryken, truer words have never been written. BluRay is our Laserdisc. I have started just collecting vinyl, and converting it to digital with new albums for the convenience of using it in my car, or on my music server (AppleTV). The wife is afra... 
Magnepan 3.6 ship to overseas
if you want to ship them, I would have wooden shipping boxes made, also if you are going to ship them to Hong Kong, I would send them to Magnepan first to make sure they are perfect.
