Dear Flo, Lord Megaman

[GMichael]

Flo, have you looked at the mini-Mags at all? I know that you are more into the "hi end" 2.0 systems, but have you checked out the MMGW's at all? These are more in my price range. They seem like they would work well in an HT system. I know the 5 ohm load is stretching my receiver out a bit, but when I spoke to a rep he assured me that because it's a 5 ohm load accross the spectrum at any wattage that I'd be safe. Was that a line just to get me to buy them or is it a truth? Have you listen to these at all?

What would be the big fight?

The truth about driver matching, sonic signatures and colorations.

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

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?

And I suppose you have the truth about these things and don't feel like sharing?

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
