I am strongly considering buying a pair of MMGs for my new house. I have a great room upstairs (well I am hoping it is a great room) that is 36 x 16 where I am thinking of setting them up. The home is a cape cod style and the room is in the upstairs. The ceiling is the roof in this room and is about 10-12 feet in the middle where the roof comes to a point. The room is finished and the floor is carpeted and there is dry wall up throughout. Will this room be a challenge acoustically?

I am thinking of pairing the MMGs with an Onkyo TX-8522, Marantz CD 5001, and my Velodyne DSP 12. The Onkyo is rated at 135 watts per channel at 4ohms so I am hoping that this will be enough power for the maggies. I am keeping my existing system for home theater purposes only and want to use the maggies for two channel audio music only. I love jazz and am hoping these speakers will bring my better recordings to life. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
