speaker/stand, couple or isolate?
Expanding the discussion, what about Maggies? Spike or isolate?  I’m thinking of the smaller (LRS, .7, 1.7).  The advantage of non-spikes (my current approach)  is that I can slide the Maggies “out of the way” as my wife says when not listening.  ...

Magnepan LRS compared to the .7 or the 1.7i ?
OP here.i just ordered a set direct from magnepan, delivery 3-5 weeks.  At that price, I figure I can’t go wrong.  If I love them (or like them a lot) I will then invest in the mye stands, and perhaps the mike Powell upgrade.  If I really love the...
