entry planar setup


Considering switching the bedroom system to planar, just to do something different.
What's the best way for ~$1000 to try planrs?

I see Maggies MMG's for $550 new, is it possible to get a decent integrated that can drive these for $500 or so, volume level not critical. How sensitive ar these speakers to room placement?

Would also consider an amp, since I may have an extra pre-amp kicking around depening on next system change.

I've heard MMG's sound quite good in an almost cubic bedroom, located about a foot and a half out into the room, with drapes behind them. So, you might not want to pull the plug on the MMG idea just yet.

The MMG's are a breeze to reposition if you need to move them out to listen and back to disappear.

And with that 60-day money back offer, basically you're only risking return shipping to find out for yourself. Can't beat that with a stick.

For amplification, if you're into quality over quantity (I assume you're not looking to disco in the bedroom), I would suggest a used Arcam integrated over either NAD or Rotel, or a perhaps a JoLida integrated for a bit warmer sound. Disclaimer - I'm a JoLida owner and dealer.

Best of luck to you, Killer!
