Driving Maggie 1.6s?
How big is the room? What types of music do you listen to?Complex, large orchestral music reproduced in a large room will probably not be a satisfying match, IMO. Rock and metal played loudly might be disappointing as well.On the other hand, small...

Super Scoutmaster or Teres?
