Masa, the pleasure was all mine. Thanks for having me over and the gracious hospitality. Hauling the Maggies over there was a labor of love
.
I was concerned that the MG12s would be lost in the vast "Sushi room" but they performed admirably. I can only imagine what the 3.6/Rs will sound like (heaven maybe). I didn't expect the MG12s and the VP150 to blend as well as they did but I was impressed by how seamlessly they worked together. In fact, I thought the blend was slightly better than with the Hales. While I think timbre matching is important, after this session, I'm convinced that not timbre matching all speakers is not the "Great Saten" of home theater its made out to be, especially with MCACC/YPAO employed.
Yes, I do want a FP in my room!!! When that giant 120" screen came down and the lights dimmed and the picture flickered to life with that huge sound from the Maggies and Axioms and the great HSU VTF-3, I was simply mesmorized. What a wonderful alternative to going to the theater (which I've come to loath lately). The Shiner Bach and Guinness didn't hurt either. Yeah, my 36" Magnavox may soon be retired to the bedroom.
P.S.: Thats one of my favorite jackets, I'll need to swing by and pick it up. Did I leave one of my DVDs there? I thought I got home with all three. What do you mean by "platter"? Did you enjoy
Finding Nemo?
