I was looking at various reviews concerning the Magneplanar MG12's and could not find one mention of a negative remark with respect to how small the sweet spot is. I did of course read that placement and direction of set up is a bit finicky, but that is to be expected.

Wayne Garcia's review (Fi) really has me interested in them actually, Psyprof. There's a hifi shop in the City which sell them, so I"m going to give them a call to arrange an audition. I might even ask if I can bring the 2150. The price is very modest for such rave reviews and a planar speaker I think, so it might be worth checking out after all. Thanks !

@Chas... I don't know anymore. I'm finding myself feeling more comfortable with floor standing speakers at the moment, but your suggestion is dually noted. If only it were possible to audition every recommended speaker eh ?
