In Reply to: Magnepan 20.1 vs Similarly priced Box speakers. posted by Frank Footer on October 19, 2005 at 07:23:14:
I used Magnepans for 20 years of my audio life. I purchased a used pair of Aerial 7b's. I never heard them before and bought them site unseen and sound unheard (okay I heard their baby brother's the Model 6 in the showroom). I got a good price for my Maggie 3.5R's. I got my Aerials for a good price. I had no trouble at all getting the Aerials to sound right in my room from day one. I never got my 3 different pairs of Maggies to sound right in any room over 20 years. They could play loud with 200 watts per side but always blew speaker fuses when playing really loud rock. I loved my Maggies and they were/are special. The 20's will need a big room and lots and lots of power. I guarantee you do not have enough power for the 20.1's and will have to buy an amp(s), mo money. Having said that, they are incredible but not for everyone and every room. I would not consider them without subs and outboard XO's or Vandy subs, and not without huge mono block amps. That would be something special. I never got bass out of my Maggie's like I get out of the Aerials.
