Blaineh, I read that you (and John W) are using center channels that ARE NOT Magnepans. How is that working out (for each of you)? I am in the process of purchasing Magnepan 1.6s but I am not that please to have a Center Channel that takes up half of my living room (being facetious). I had considerd other Center Channels, however, when I asked the Magnepan dealer about using a center channel other than a maggie they almost all said the same thing. "While it is ok to use a different center channel there may be issues with matching the timbre of the 1.6s." Also, there may be the possibility of the center channel over-powering the maggies. Any suggestions? Or should I go with Gozilla (Magnepan CC3) for the Center Channel and live with it? LOL!

Thanks,

Paladin
PS: I am still torn between the Outlaw 990/7700 and the Rotel 1068/1095 combos....ARGH!!!
