From Stereophile...

A few things stand out very clearly from my time with the Magnepan
MG1.6/QRs. First, this is a spectacularly enjoyable loudspeaker--the
sort that a music lover could happily buy and never look back,
spending the rest of her time and money on building and enjoying a
music collection. On the other hand, a die-hard audiophile could
assemble a killer system around the '1.6/QRs and spend the rest of his
life upgrading components around them. The Maggies won't bite the
heads off of lesser upstream components, but they will most definitely
respond to the quality of signal they're fed.

From Audioenze...

Add all the above pluses together and I believe you end up with more
than the not inconsiderable sum of the parts. If you can meet the
physical requirements then these could well be your ticket off the
upgrade treadmill.

From GoodSound!

When I listen to the Magnepan MG1.6/QRs, I get the eerie sensation of
being there with all the musicians who make me love music. That
ability to "disappear" and take you right to the heart of music is
what makes them such a great joy to listen to, and such a superb value
in the audio world.

Soundstage...

And while you may not be equal to the full investment required for
owning a pair MG1.6/QRs -- namely, the sacrifices you'll make to
décor, room arrangement, domestic tranquility and the cost of the
associated power amplification -- if you make the effort, you will be
rewarded. The MG1.6/QRs are speakers that can more than satisfy
audiophiles and music lovers, and you will not outgrow them as either
the years or equipment upgrades pass by. They are ready-made classics.
