Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I've owned both and...

I like the Dynaudio better. I think the Maggie can be pure magic with the right type of music but it's just to weird on rock and punchy heavy stuff to my taste. I can see why they have such a strong following and I'm sorry if I'm offending anyone here but I just could never live with them with a wide range of music like I could with the Dynaudio. I personally don't really care for the giant imposing nature of the Maggie either. The Dynaudio S3.4 has beautiful symmetry and compliments a room. Neither one is going to give a bass freak enough bass but they are both pretty good. I'd say they are both a sort of laid back sound. They both need a lot of power to sound good. The Maggies will give you the magic huge holographic sound, but for me the Dynaudios are just more of a sound that I can live with. I'd wish for more than either can provide honestly. I kind of dismissed the Maggies fairly quickly and only kept them for a month or so. I had a friend who had the 1.6s and they seemed to have a similar impression on me. Simply magic with the right kind of music. I'm no expert but I've owned both and it's one mans opinion. I'd go with the Dynaudio.
