The MC1 exitst because of the dreaded SAF (spouse approval factor). They wanted the same clarity of sound with decent bass in a much smaller frame for wall mounting.

if you have the space to mount an MMG, then great, however, it does just fine with bass away from the wall and the mids and highs will sound much clearer.

Dipoles really like to be much more forward into the room, so the MC1's had their work cut out for them when wall mounted.

I use mine for surrounds and they sound great. I couldn't have gone with anything bigger due to space constraints.
