Retired my Paradigm setup (Titans, Atoms, 5SE's, CC300) and saw a pair of Magnepan MG1s on CL. He chose my Titans out of all my sets as an even trade. ACcording to the ad they are in good shape and work correctly. What do you think? I've been leaning more towards classic speakers lately, like my Klipsch Forte II's. My Polks aren't going anywhere, they are my bedroom rig and my dads main rig at home (I gave him RT25s so he has a full 7.1 polk setup now).
Main Surround -
Epson 8350 Projector/ Elite Screens 120" / Pioneer Elite SC-35 / Sunfire Signature / Focal Chorus 716s / Focal Chorus CC / Polk MC80 / Polk PSW150 sub

Bedroom - Sharp Aquos 70" 650 / Pioneer SC-1222k / Polk RT-55 / Polk CS-250

Den - Rotel RSP-1068 / Threshold CAS-2 / Boston VR-M60 / BDP-05FD

    If you don't already have one, you'll need (or should get) a high-current amp for those speakers.

    Give them clean powerful current and I'm guaranteed you'll be pleased with the results. I love my Maggies but they need a large room to really sound their best.
