Hello all, for a long time I've been looking into speakers for the living room.

The living room(it's a living room/dining room) is 14'x27'x8'(WxLxH), the sofa is placed 12ft from the wall.

I've been looking at getting these; Magnepan MMG For Sale | AudiogoN

I don't have any amplifiers so recommendations for one would be nice. I have been thinking about the Emotiva XPA-2.

I'd be happy to hear any other recommendations, the budget for the speakers is of ~$1000, although I can stretch it a little bit but I would prefer not to so I can get the other components.

Thanks.

x2. Do it!

X3. Sounds pretty good to me.

They don't beam?

looks good to me.

Not in nearfield

Alright, well I'm glad to hear it's a good system... never been into speakers before so I wasn't sure.

I sent the offer, now I have to wait and see

Good, the seller needs to give me a quote on the shipping

edit: there was no 'offer' just a buy it now option, just realized this...

Is the amp powerful enough?

According the people at magnepan user group they work really well. Some people go as far as XPA-1s but the weight is what prevented me from buying them, it'd be over $400 to bring them here :S

I was wondering if I should get the XDA-1 and possibly the ERC-1 cd-player to go with this set? The XDA-1 has preamp and digital inputs it should work well with the xpa-2. Anyone have any opinions, are there better options within the same price range?

For this speaker system I had none, but I just got the XDA-1 so I guess this would be my source. I went with this one because of the price, I can always save up and get something better in the future. I just needed something to use with the speakers.

Still need to find a cd-player, any ideas for one? Something less than $500 would be nice, this is why I asked about the ERC-1.

The XDA-1 sounded really good with the Schitt Valhalla and LCD-2s at TamJam. Since you only need a transport I would not spend a ton on CD player. Maybe a used transport?

Yes that's what I was thinking, maybe a Rotel or something?

You're right. I guess I'm set then, thanks for all the help guys.

Transport/laptop>xda-1>xpa-2>magnepan mmg

Now just have to wait to get the stuff here

Oppo DVD player for the transport?
