Ok, its the FNG (Freakin' New Guy) again with more questions. :rolleyes:

I am still undecided as to which separate I want. I have visited both Rotel and NAD forums to attempt to ascertain the differences between the three top choices (in fact, I even entertained the idea of Sunfire & Bryston but figured what's the sense of paying a gazillion $$$ for separates by these guys if I can get a system that is close but doesn't cause me to hock the cat and dog), so I am back to the decision of Outlaw vs. Rotel. Having said that, my question of the day is actually directed to "Ritz" (however, others should feel free to provide additional comments) and it is in regards to his setup, so here goes:

I am seriously considering the Magnepan 1.6s. Initially, I was interested in the Mag 12s however the 1.6s do not take up any more room than the 12s plus the dealer is willing to give me a 20% discount on his magnepan 1.6 floor/demo to include a 20% discount on the hugmongous Center Channel 3. I noticed that in Ritz's setup he has the Maggies for the fronts and using a DT for the center channel. How is that combination working out for you? I had actually considered the Mirage Omni-Center Channel (bi-polar) as an option instead of the Mag. CC3. I was told that center channels that are not of the same manufacturer/model as the fronts could cause problems (in how the sound is distributed across the front). For reference my setup is going into an apartment living room (18'x12' or + or - a foot). I actually looked at other speakers (Martin Logan's Clarity; Mirage OM-7; Rocket 750s) but keep coming back to the Maggies. I love that sound that comes from them. So what are the views of the very kowledgeable within this forum?

Thank You All in advance.
