In Reply to: Need Advice re new HT setup, Maggies posted by Jim Cate on June 4, 2000 at 08:48:33:
I am waiting for my 3.6's to come in, I plan on putting them in the front. For the time being, I have a set of 1.5's that I picked up used that are going to be used for the rears, and the MGCC for the center. I've heard people using a MMG on the side for the center, but also heard that due to the dispersion pattern, that this setup tended to beam the voices to a narrow location. I'm pretty happy with the Maggie center channel, although some people will tell you otherwise. Listen to it to make your decision. The one thing I can say for sure is that some sort of Maggie is almost required for a HT system with Maggie mains, there's nothing else that can keep up with it and timbre match properly. I've also heard of some people not using a center channel, instead mixing it into the mains. Haven't played with this...I also have a Velodyne, the HGS-18. I don't plan on using this sub at all for music, as I plan on getting a pair of Vandersteen 2Qw subs to run up front, this will match much nicer (as they are quicker, with three 8" subs in each box). Very nice sub for movies. Very powerful, and goes extremely low (there's a scene in The Haunting that the only thing that can be heard is the room shaking, and your chest being pounded) with plenty of power at 15-25hz (more and more movies are starting to take advantage of this).
I'm pretty happy with the results so far, as the soundstage is phenominal, and the bass is extremely powerful. Let us know what you decide on.
