Best Speakers for Vinyl

[madarahr]

I am really enjoying the music from the system now with the MMG's. It is not as clear as I heard at the auditioning at the dealer with the 1.6 and 1.7's but he mentioned it old take time. The dealer does not carry MMG's and hence had to get them from the manufacturer. The speaker placement issue is no longer an issue. I re-arranged furniture and threw the TV out to another room. We watch TV very rarely anyway (once in two weeks). I followed the recommendations in the manual and the dealer for placement and it fit so perfect and the music is so clear. They are really meant for small rooms and that's why they are working fine for me.
I am a bit worried about the subwoofer you mentioned Mash. Dont you think it's too big for the small room I have have ? Would the subwoofer make the MMG's perform better by taking the strain away and letting it work on its higher frequencies ?

Seeing as how I went from owning Maggy 1's, 2's and 3's to ESL's I guess I don't agree with Mash about the realism of ESL's.

My mentioning 50Hz as a crossover was mostly to illustrate that many people use way to high a crossover setting on powered subs. With most of them having no high pass filtering on the line level connections proper woofer integration becomes difficult. It's probably easier with MMG's because of their limited low frequency extension.

Unless the sub woofer has some high pass filtering it won't take any work away from the MMG's. A full range signal is still going to the MMG's. It will however fill in the missing bass that MMG's can't produce anyway.
