I have a pair of 1.6s and MG12s both equipped with Mye stands. The stands have made a palpable difference in the bass. Until I finish my HT room, I am running both pairs of speakers off my Odyssey Stratos Stereo power amp... Nordost Blue Heaven cables for the 1.6s and Zu Wax for the MG12s. The pairs are standing next to each other about 4 feet from the rear wall and firing at my listening position... The difference in low bass, clarity and “punch” is amazing. The customer service from Mye Sound is excellent. Grant is very service oriented and accessible.
