I love Maggies, but if you spend a goodly portion of time listening extremely quietly (so as to not wake others, etc.), then you might feel that the 1.6's don't "come alive" as well as the Hales. If you mostly listen closer to earsplitting levels, you'll prefer the Maggies if you have the watts.
Maggie 1.6 or Hales Revelation 3
I'm am currently upgrading my speakers from the Spica Angelus to either the Maggie 1.6 or the Hales Revelation 3. I currently have a Basis 1400/RB 300 with Dynavector 10X4 cartridge. My phono section is an EAR 834P and my CD source is a Cal Icon Power Boss upgrade with HDCD running into a Audible Illusions Modulus 3A fully updated into an Ayre V3 with the first upgrade. I'm tending to lean towards the maggies... Any thoughts?
