In my studio, where I paint, I have a pair of magnapan 1.7's. And, I have a pair of cone speakers. On Mark Cohn, Walking In Memphis, the 1.7's make the great piano virtually disappear. The cone speakers bring everything together in a great soundstage.

I prefer ball-bustingly wide sound.

generally also feel like they'll throw at least one classical/symphony record on there but it's less predictable as to what it will be
