Re: Need Advice re new HT setup, Maggies

Hi Jim,

Do you plan on having music and video in the same room or separate rooms ? How big is your HT room ?

I run 1.6's in my music system and have also tried running them in my (separate) video system. With older Maggie 1b's on the rear, driven by a Sony TA-E9000ES/ Rotel RB-985 combo.

As you have found with your 3.6, the Maggies do sound fantastic with music. IMS I found them quite good in HT but not ideal. Bottom line is in my larger HT room the Maggies just didn't move enough air, they couldn't match the sock of my old Energy References.

Part of this was due to the amps (the Maggies really deserve better and the majority of HT amps are crap).
Moving my Krell and Jadis amps to the HT room improved things but made operating the system user unfriendly, I'm not the primary user.

In my case I couldn't live with the compromises needed to run a single system so I split the music/movie duties to dedicated systems and rooms.
