I'd suggest going to martinlogan.com and magnepan.com for better details. Basicly they are trying to do the same thing in the mids and highs: move air with a flat panel diaphragm. The MLs metalize the diaphragm and put it between two poles. Then they curve it. Maggies put wires onto the diaphragm and put the wires in a magnetic field. The panel is flat. MLs add a cone woofer for bass as a compromise for people that like "punch" for loud rock or movies. Maggie owners typically prefer acoustic music and prefer the accuracy of the panel's bass. Both speakers run at 4 ohms and tend to be so fast acting and transparent that any deficiencies in the source or amplification is revealed. Often, the listening experience in hifi shops is dramatically affected by the system they are put in. With good electronics and setup they are dramatically different than any cone speakers. I like them both but prefer the Maggies.
