Well, I've the entire Magnepan owner's thread (phew) and wanted to get a little feedback from those that have dabble (and those who have only considered and went another direction). I'll be using this for 80%+ HT, and I'm thinking of having two bass traps in the front corners (16" radius and full height - Geometrix by Acoustics First).
I was thinking of having a 5.1 set up in a 15'L x 11'W x 7.5'H room with:
large LCD
phantom center with MMG-W mounted on the front wall per spec
L/R mains with MC1 mounted on the side wall 2' from the front wall per spec
surrounds with MMG-W mounted behind the shoulders of the seating area about 3'-3.5' from the floor
SVS (PB10) or HSU (STF-2 maybe) subwoofer crossed at 80-90hz (to blend with the MC1s) mounted at the rear of the room behind the seating area
I would debate swapping the centers for MC1 if (male) voices don't quite sound right, and since the room is so small, I'm not too concerned about the sub - I've heard that both of these (and other options of course) respond well with Maggies, are quick enough and reach deep enough to make me happy.
Thoughts, and more importantly, did those of you that started with something similar have regrets and later make changes?
Thanks for your feedback!
