George- This is a fantastic subject, I am thinking the same thing though going from 3.6's w/subs or 20.1's, though I can't arrange a demo on 20.1's either! I have a chance to listen to 20's but I am not sure how much different they are from the 20.1's. I would rather have a full range speaker with NO sub but I don't want to risk the 20.1's not ending my quest- I absolutely love the 3.6's and would hate to pay 3 times the price for a speaker that is only a hair better.
Magnepan 20.1 vs MG 3.5/stereo subwoofers?
I am exploring the possibility of upgrading my MG 3.5/stereo Sunfire Signature subwoofer combo with the MG 20.1.
I have not been able to audition the MG 20.1. Could members with first hand knowledge comment on the improvement (if any) in using the 20.1 vs the 3.5/stereo subs combo? I am currently using an ARC VT100 MKII with the MG 3.5. I would be biamping the 20.1 with the VT100 MKII and maybe a Bryston 4B ST (with the Bryston 10B active crossover).
Thanks
George
