Hi,I have used box speakers for all of my audiophile life. I am considering purchasing a used pair of Magnepan 20.1 speakers. I have never heard them before and it will not be easy to hear a pair first. I am could get a good price on them. What are the main advantages of a planer speaker over a box speaker? How is the bass on the 20.1's. Can they play loud rock or are they more for classical?
Thank you for any responses.
