Magnepan 1.6 fronts-what non-maggies center/sur
I can tell you as way to get a killer Magnepan center for cheap. Buy a single MMG and mount the feet on the sides, and lay it over. Your getting the best center channel you could from Magnepan for $300. I also will be using the MMG's for rears, an... 
magnepan 1.6 subwoofer recomendations
Personally, Id go with two subs. Id rather have 2 great subs, then one exceptional, but thats me. I can ALWAYS tell when only a single sub is being used. 
Can a Magnepan 1.6 be BI AMPED?
My reason for bi amping wasnt for using an external cross over to clean up the signal, it was for gaining the additional power from the 2nd channel. The above poster is correct, I cant find real world specs on the Onkyo's 4 ohm rating, but there i... 
amp question
Id never spend money on most of the little tweaks out there, specially the high dollar ones. Unless you just have money that you dont know what to do with, putting your money in better speakers, and equipment, is by far the best move. Even budget ... 
Rotel rsx 1550 or Onkyo 906
I'm currently using some power hungrey 4ohm speakers. Guess what? The ONkyo 906 is more then up to the challenge. Simply use the bi amp 4 ohm setting, and your pumping out some serious power.....big amp power! Volume will not be a issue with this ... 
Budget AV Receiver with Magnepan
Ive owned all the cost no object stuff, and for future readers, magnepan mmg, mmgw,mmgc's, will all easily run off a 100+ watt receiver easily. I tried my MMg's on a Onkyo nr906 reciver, and it played the mmg's at loud levels. Just as loud as my B... 
Single vs Dual Subs
If you have the room, go with two subs, you wont regret it. Most people only can fit one of these beasts in. I had two SV Ultra 12/2 subs in the same room andit was pain scary. Think car spl in a 24x17 room. Will shake your throat bass! 
Help deciding on an amp.
For $1200 Id really try to grab a MCA 50 
Ayre MX-R VS Vitus SS-010

Mailman,Id buy Paradigm studio 100's before Id go Gallo. Found them harsh in midrange, they couldnt be driven very hard, and the soundstage was very low. I messed with placement forever, and even bought a secod used pair to see if they just needed...

Legacy Focus HDs
I still feel the Legacy 20/20's are the best speakers Legacy has ever made. Just my opinion. They dont image, and arent as revealing as some other brands, maybe thats why I loved them so much. These were speakers made for musicians. Blown away to ... 
Speaker Ideas upto $2500
You should really try the Legacy Focus 20/20 out if you can find a local seller. They are the best speaker Ive heard. No, they might not be the most acurate, detailed, etc pair of speakers. But what they can do, is produce great music like non oth...
