Talk me into 3.6's

[Geoffcin]

I stand corrected. I wasn't aware there was more than one Maggie center and assumed it to be the other flavor. He uses a pair of CC3s clamped together.

Very good, but overkill. (like the whole setup)

It has a funny shape because the right wall opens up with a bay window. The french doors from the entry and all the windows are covered, so the room is always dark. I'm guessing it is like 26 x 14 or so (slightly wider at the bay). The listening couch is maybe 8' out from the back wall (which filled with records). There's also a closet in the back where he keeps extra cable, old cartridges, and all sorts of devices.

14" is kind of slender to get proper seperation from the 20.1s. While I'm sure it sounds great, the 3.6's would better fit the room better.

One of the interesting things that I found when going to the HE show was that room size made a big difference in how well a speaker performed. In the smaller rooms the monitors and mid sized speakers sounded best. I was especially amazed at how a huge speaker like the Von Swiekert 9se simply overpowered the room it was in.

There is a point where it simply becomes too much for the room.
