maggie 1.6qr


I just purchased a mint set of maggie 1.6qr speakers and am shocked at how good they sound! I am replacing a dynaco st70/ quad 11L setup with the maggies and a bryston 3bst amp. The preamp is a classe dr6.

I am currently set up in a small 10x11 room and jammed in way too tight there. I am moving into a larger room 14x16 and it will be a dedicated 2 channel/ a/v room.

The maggies will be placed about 4.5-5 feet from the rear wall, and about 2.5 feet from the side walls. My seating position will be around 7-8 feet back. With the speakers placed about 5 feet apart, will this distance on seating position be about right or should I be closer?

I know about the cardas method and magnepans setup instructions, but I am looking for real maggie user input and how you set yours up. And do you suggest tweeter panels in or out?

Thanks,Dave (New happy maggie owner!!!)

My room is quite a bit different and employs the 20.1s so I am not well qualified to comment on your situation other than to say that I agree with Magfan that it seems to be best with the tweeters on the outside. I tried it both ways and prefered them on the outside.

Also, the advice to make SMALL changes at a time is good advice.
