I guess he is just comparing what to him is the best available. I have to trust reviews and opinions of people I trust. There is just no way to hear everything in your room.
Most of the gear I own has been heavily reviewed by several different sources. That's really the best you can do.

Still, I understand the OP's frustration -- if you're shopping for a speaker in that price range, you want comparisons to other speakers in that price range to help narrow your choice. Maybe what JV says about philosophy is of more use here -- he points to different types of speaker, including "absolute sound" speakers, and puts Maggies in that category. Which is to say there are better choices if you're after slam on pop recordings, but if what you want is something that sounds like real instruments in a real acoustical space I don't know of anything that comes close to Maggies at that price. |

Maggies are great sounding speakers. And at a good price point.

Magnepan .7
I was going to order a pair of the .7's, an upgrade fro me from the MMG's. Then I read the Absolute Sound review which was polite and cautioned about the type of music that the .7's would be best for. Also, made me uneasy that those who loved them at the trade shows also mentioned that Mr. Diller had them set up with a hidden center channel and a couple of their woofers. When you total that system up people were listening to at least $3,000 in speakers, but seemingly writing an evaluations on just the .7's. The woofers alone are more in cost than the .7's. One dealer offered that the .7's worked best with a subwoofer, relieving the panels of some of their work. Sounds right to me. I'm sure that they are great speakers, but now I will wait until I can hear them. I caution those that are not familiar with Magnepans to carefully read the Absolute Sound review. I thought the reviewers did a great job reviewing the .7's by tempering the positives.

I know you like salsa and merenge type music which is very acoustical with some bass thrown in for good measure, so it's good to hear that the new speakers float your boat. |
