bob, i remember the discussion and what i spoke of was the qualitative and cohesive aspects and not the quantitative ones. since they both like different amps, it will be personal taste that wins out in the end.

Well, Bobby...that's a good PC answer and you know that I remain a fan of Magnepan. Still, I did not imagine that the imaging qualities of the 1.6 pair would leave much to be desired. The imaging WAS focused and I could easily place instruments. But the TSMs do even more of that with a soundstage the extends beyond the side-walls. I keep wondering what single element of the speaker is most atractive and I come back to the imaging/soundstage. I'm not diminishing it's other strengths of course.

Nice review. The biggest problem with the new TSM-Mxr is that for the same money you can almost buy a used pair of the VSM-Mx.
nty, very true but imho, the vsm mx sounds quite inferior to the tsm mxr with master rcs from 55 to 20 khz.

I won't even get into comparing the revised TSM to the older VSM.
In many settings a monitor speaker is more suitable. In my case I wanted a speaker that was more easily moved. I can move the TSM's and stands with no trouble. I believe each VSM weighs in at about 90 lbs....annoying if they must be moved often.
You can always make a case for used gear and I certainly have picked up some great bargains. But I wanted the best monitor I could find with the latest level of evolution. I'm very pleased with the TSM-MXr's.
Cheers,
Rob
