Magnapan vs. Von Schweikert


I am considering upgrading my speakers and there is virtually nothing I can audtion in the city where I live so I have to depend on the ears of others.

A couple of well repescted AudiogoNers suggested I look into the Magnepan 3.6R when I told them I was interested in the Von Schweikert VR4. They didn't say anything bad about the VR4 they just recommended the Maggies.

If anyone has experience with either of these that might be helpful, or offer insight, I would appreciate it.

I've looked at some of the threads about both but I did not find anything that I thought applied to this particular question.

Thanks for your help.

Well..I hope you have a dedicated room for the 3.6s...because they are huge....and ideally they need to be 3-4ft from all walls to perform at their best...I am not familiar with the VR4s...however...a friend has the Maggie 1.6s...which is more than enough speaker for large rooms...and they are the speaker to beat below 5k or so...also...Maggies from 20 yrs ago were bass anemic...not anymore!
