In Reply to: Home Theater Building posted by Brian LaCroix on July 16, 2001 at 23:53:21:
If I was you I would scrub the maggies, not really a good choice for home cinema. Room fussy, limited power and bass handling and large profile. Take a look at the PMC LB1's, (and others from PMC's range) these are often found in film dubbing and mix suites, its what the pro's mostly tend to use, web adress I believe is www.pmcloudspeakers.com The screen obviously is up to you, I would suggest that you buy something not only on the basis of how large it is, but also with the sharpness/definition, colour/brightness that you want. Painting the walls black will reduce the amount of reflected ambient light, but a dark blue or grey may be as effective as you require. Hope this is "sound advice".Roland

***If I was you I would scrub the maggies, not really a good choice for home cinema. Room fussy, limited power and bass handling and large profile.***I don't think that Maggie home theater owners (I'm not one) would agree with you.
Yes, Roland is correct. While the Maggies do give up some on the high-volume end, their clarity and quickness are far above ANY other speaker in the market. Not only that, but the fact that the tweeter is 5' tall, the room (from top to bottom) is clearly more even. And if you heard a properly amplified Maggie system, you would see that their bass is not lacking. In fact, with my speaker/amp combination, any more bass (for music) would be too much (plus the bass is extremely accurate and never muddy).I do agree that they are sensitive to placement, hence the size of the room. I'm definately not willing to give up the Maggie speakers. What I give up in volume is more than made up in clarity and absolute enjoyment. I found that most speakers I've listened to in the same price range ($4000) were a bit harsh on my ears. I've listened to alot of speakers and I feel the Maggies have the most balanced sound, and amazingly achieve this with clarity far beyond anything under $10K...
Sounds like an advertisement... haha, but I've done alot of auditioning of speakers, and I LOVE my Maggies. Any other Maggie HT people out there?
