Terry Kath of Chicago is one of the best if not the best, old Chicago rules.

"But I like a good fast sound with lots of space and imagining is very important"

In my humble opinion there is little that competes with Magnepan given your above statement, they are fast, actually super fast, accurate, detailed and once correctly set up literally can't be beat in most opinions without spending 3-4-5 times as much. I traded out a pair of Paradigm Studio 40's and a pair of B&W 604's for the first pair of Maggies I owned, the MMG's, and at $599 retail direct from Magnepan they blew the doors off the above speakers. Take another listen when you have a chance.

If you are considering different speakers look into the Magnepan MMG or MG12, if the budget and space allow take a look at the Magnepan 1.6QR's. Absolute Sound, more specifically JV has gone on record suggesting that the 1.6QR is the speaker he would pick under $3000. The latest issue suggests not only the MMG's but the 1.6QR's and the 20,1's as speakers the reviewers would pick for systems they get to design on their own. Not in any way an advertisement but they changed my ideas of affordale true high end audio, read the reviews and trust a Maggie owner when I say they will turn your head and make you want to listen to your CD's for the first time all over again.

Love the Led Zep poster, classic rock lives.......
