Re: Need Advice re new HT setup, Maggies

199.3.9.192

Hi Jim,
I have a Maggie Ht set-up w/ 1.6's lf/rt mains for music, (with Ed Hsu amazing XO tweak), a pair of MMG's as ctr ch, (had the MGCC1 ctr ch and was not pleased with the performance), and 1.4's as surrounds.
Would like to add another pair of MMG's as side channels. Have the Lexicon MC1 as a processor, using the Lex Logic 7 decoding for all DVD's, Videos, and TV viewing, which is a 7.1 format. Powering these Maggies is an EAD Powermaster 2000. That is powering the 2 ohm load of the pair of MMG's for ctr ch. This amp is an elephant killer and very very musical.
Anyway my point being, I am extremely happy with my maggies all the way around. With the speed and power of the EAD amp my system has great dynamics, transparencey, detail and a sense of spacetionous that in IMHO could only be achieved with the Maggies.

I just recieved my MMg's about a month ago, used off the web for $430 shipped. I am really impressed with thier performance so far, and feel they would make great surrounds. I would hook the Vel sub to the Onkyo out, just for movies. The phantom setting for ctr ch with the 3.6's and Rotel amp would work fine, until you decide what to do for ctr ch. That's just IMHO, I could be wrong.
