I've listened to the Maggie and yes they sound nice, but I personnally found more life with the Martin's. As far as dynamics goes, try adding the Bat 3i pre and the vk200 amp. Martins are picky with equipement and after endless auditioning I found my pleasure to be Bat pre/amps, not crazy over their cd players. To all that did not care for Martins, I've been to 4 dealers who care martins and only one of the dealers was somewhat close to having them hooked with the right equip.. Good luck
ElectrostatsPlaner/Ribbon s Vs Cone driv
I have owned Proacs, B&W Nautilus, Theils and others but never planers. I auditioned ML Arieus but was not taken with the musicality and the other models too big for my room. No other dealers nearby to demo Maggies, etc.
I know the general differences of the two design concepts, but I am trying to determine if there is a smallish planer design that would give nearly all the satisfaction I am getting from my BW Nautilus 805's with REL Strata Sub. In particular I would love to gain the lifesize soundstage and midrange wonder but not feel lacking by the lesser performance in high and low frequencies. I have a Levinson 331 amp and AR LS22 preamp. thanks for any experienced suggestions.
