Magnepan 12s


Help!

I am new to this and would greatly value your input. I want to buy Magepan 12s. I want to use denon 3802 reciever and 1600 dvd player. I listen primarily to music.

My question is: I have read that the maggies will not work well with japanese recievers. Has anyone been successful with this type of reciever? If not can you recommend a reciever and player for under $1000 that will work well with these speakers? I really don't want to go to seperates. Thanks for your help

The small Maggie 12s are really the "hidden jewel" in the MAG line up...the bigger 1.6s receive most of the acclaim...but the 12s are no slouches either...they dont have the soundstage, bass, or overall "wow" factor the 1.6s do...but they are a very musical little speaker...if you want to save some cash...the factory direct MMG for $550 is very similiar in sound and dimensions...and I have heard both these on REGA,NAD, and BRyston intergrateds and they sounded great...good luck...
