Thanks to all for the replies.   
4ohm RECEIVER
MhedgesThanks for the suggestions and the assistance. 
4ohm RECEIVER
Mhedges,Thanks for the suggestions. I have looked at all of the above but my issue is spending 3-5 times what the speakers cost to get a really top end receiver to drive them. In addition the system is going to be 2.0 or 2.1 so no need for countle... 
Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise
Thomastrouble,Assuming that you are going to double the power output of 150W at 8ohms as the 3.6 will present a 4ohm load which should increase power output of the Sim to close to if not 300W, based on this being solid amplification which the Sim ... 
Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise
Thomastrouble, Again my personal feelings here tell me that both the Bel and Sim should do the job as they are quality amplification and I am assuming that the power ratings we are discussing are 8OHMS, power output should come close to double or ... 
Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise
Thomastrouble,In follow up please don't misunderstand my post. I am not advocating tons of power, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, and I speak from personal experience that the majority of time speakers are blown it is not ... 
Is a Sub worth the bother?
I have a buddy that uses the SVS (2 of them)and he loves them, personal taste when it comes to subs. After going crazy with better than 10 subwoofers I have landed on what I feel to be one of the most musical subwoofers on the matrket, Rythmik Aud... 
Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise
Personal experience: I am running 1.6QR's with a Sunfire amplifier, biamped delivering 400W at 4OHMS to each speaker and they love it, I have as well discussed with Magnepan and they will never give a solid answer. A buddy of mine is runningthe 3.... 
Is a Sub worth the bother?
Agreed based on your system, a smaller sub will match with your monitors more easily than a large woofer. Where I don't agree is the 'cheap' part. A subwoofer is often overlooked as "they all do the same thing" which they don't. The subwoofer has ... 
Subs: DIY Kit vs. Martin Logan
I added the Rythmik F12-SE to compliment a pair of Magnepan 1.6QR's and it is really an amazing sub, never sounds strained, matches well with the maggies and literally seems to not even be there, the hallmark of a great sub. The issue with the mag... 
Isolation suggestions for amplifer
Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I am really looking for a blend of both performance and air flow and ultimately something that doesn't detract from the performance by simply using it. 
Magnepan MG1.6
The Speltz are great cables for the maggies, I have also had good experience with Kimber. One real consideration is that the best cables for maggies are going to be solid core and NOT stranded cables, just science. I have also heard good things ab... 
What subwoofer to use with Maggies?
Has anyone had any experience with rythmic audio subwoofers. The spec sheet reads like that of a $7,500 subwoofer, servo control, killer extension and the cost is amazing when one looks at the performance of other subwoofers costing much much more... 
Matching speaker cables to Magnepan MMG's
Thanks for the posts. I am running Kimber 4PR, the old school brown and black and like the cables. I am wondering if there would be an audible improvement moving up the Kimber line as suggested above? The other issue is price, as the MMG's are a $... 
What subwoofer to use with Maggies?
TpsonicYes, a Sunfire Theater Grand II 5.1 processor and a matching era Sunfire 5CH amplifier. About 70% of listening is 2CH stereo, the remainder is 4.1 as with the Maggies I just don't 'hear' the need for a center speaker. I just don't feel the ...
