I listen primarily to traditional 30's & 40's pop, some classical, easy jazz and folk music.
A subwoofer would not be needed with the SMG's unless you are an organ enthusiast. The sound was spacious and had plenty of bass, but after listening to them for two days I added an Audiosource 10' downward firing subwoofer crossed over at 60 cycles and experienced a slightly deeper bass. Other equipment included a NAD 350 integrated amp,a Marantz CD5001 CD Player, inexpensive 14 gauge stranded speaker wire, and inexpensive Radioshack connector cables. I bought a used pair of SMGb's and set them up eight feet apart slightly towed in, three & one half feet out into my 16' X 17' X8' heavily furnished & carpeted living room. In conclusion, for $300 or so, the SMGb's will provide lots of happy listening if you've got a room big enough to accomodate them. I want to buy on the cheap, but concluded after hearing the Arros at The 2006 High End Show in Los Angeles, that I'd have to spend the extra dollars to get the more palpable sound I prefer. Additionally, I wanted speakers that have a more palpable sound, so I sold the SMG's and bought a pair of Totem Arros. However, the size of these speakers just took up too much space in my room. Return the speakers to Magnepan, they must be returned in their original carton. Magneplanar MMG Manual Quick Set-Up 2 CAUTION – CAUTION – CAUTION 3. All of the above sounded quite good, with or without the subwoofer.
