This is a big improvement for me comming from a crappy DIY speakers and an Optimus HT receiver. The sound is pretty good, not as good as I want it to be, but with a few tweaks it should be sounding better. Im in college so my pocket cant handle any more upgrades for a couple of weeks. My current speaker wires are cheap Acoustic Research. My next move will be some good speaker wires, then a better amplifier.
I need to know what to do to make my MMGs sing. I did an A/B test with some Bose 201s and I didnt hear much difference.
Looks to me like you're off to a good start. The number one way to improve any system - be it starter or megabuck - is speaker placement. Maggies are tricky to place, but when you get it right, you'll love them. Plus, they'll surely outperform those 201s. Happy listening.
