In addition to the MGCC1 (demo & used), I'm using the MGLR1s (demo) in the rear mounted horizontally to render a virtual distance via shear width & MG2.7s (used) in front, powered by a Krell KAV-500 (used). To voice match the Krell's current-mode servo sound, I'm using dual Velodyne FSR18s (refurbished) to actively destroy my horrific room acoustic 60hz spike & psuedo-enclosing the rear of the Maggies with egg-crate foam-rubber to quasi-monopole them. I'm currently intending to use CAL:CL-10 -> Geortz:Sapphires (0.5m) -> unknown_processor -> AudioMagic:SpellCasters (0.5m) -> MusicalFidelity:X-10D -> AudioMagic:Sorcerers (0.5m) -> Krell:KAV-500 -> AudioMagic:Excaliber2s (3.0m) -> Magnepans. FWIW, I haven't figured out what to use on the Pioneer:CLD-99 (used).

I've been auditioning several ICs from the Cable Co noticed with multiple system assesments that the above split cable configuration eliminates the cables "sound" much as AudioQuest:Diamond do, but w/o the stranded "sound". Of course one does sacrifice a minor amount of Sorcerer's integrity, but the X-10D does keep it to a minimum.
