    Thanks Flo. I got a chance to hear the MC1's last week. I like their sound very much but were just a little high for me right now. The MMGW & MMGC are more in my range but no one has them. I would have to order them direct. Anyway, thanks again for the answers.

    Thats because they are only sold directly. Try them, you wont be dissapointed. A awsome Receiver and a good match to the Maggies is the Cambridge Audio Azur 540R

    Nice receiver Flo

    I will keep this receiver on my wish list. Do you think my Yamaha will have trouble with the MMGW & MMGC while I am waiting?

    NO the Yamaha will be fine. You can drive a 1.6 with that no problem too.

    Thanks Flo

    What I may do is order the MMGW & MMGC on the 60 day trial deal. I can't pass these up at $300 a pair. If I like them I will probably get another pair for surround. After that I would like to upgade the fronts, and the original pair would end up as rears. But I still have more shopping to do before I'm ready.
    Thanks again,

    I have been recommending Maneplaners of various sizes and prices ever since I bought a pair in 1978. No one that has bought a pair on my recomendation has ever complained. For the most part they have removed themselves from the upgrade track. The exceptions to that have been to buy bigger Maggy's.

    Actually, I think this could be very informative to the members here, and probably well worth whatever debate spews forth - heated discussions are better than no discussions - better the forums get all sides than just one, right?

    Let's have it
