Blaineh, your system description sounds quite impressive. I have liked Magnepan speakers since I purchased my first pair in 1987. At that time I was only interested in the best music reproduction that I could afford. When I became seriously interested in a surround system I listened to many speakers and systems. I even purchased some good conventional speakers in order to have a matched system but nothing seemed to compare to the live realistic sound and imaging that I got from the maggies. I returned to the maggies and I am very pleased. I do use a B&W LCR600 center speaker because I was concerned about the lack of bass capability from the magnepan center speaker. Are you satisfied with your magnepan center speaker.
