Re: Slightly off topic: Opinions on Maggies vs. Martin-Logans

MLs are electrostatics with a cone woofer, and hence you tend to get
some discontinuities at the xover point. MLs also tend, imo, to have
a slightly dry sound. Magnepans are planar magnetic speakers. There
is no crossover discontinuities; in fact, one of their strong points
is the seamlessness of their presentation. Maggies, imo, tend to
have a very slightly sweet sound. Both present a wide, deep, believable
soundstage when properly placed.

You can order, for $500, a pair of MMGs directly from Magnepan, with
a 30 day return privlege. Might be worth doing; all it will cost you
is shipping. Website is WWW.MAGNEPAN.COM. Mike.
