Magnepan or Carver???


I have a line on Magnepan 3.5r speakers, or a pair of Carver Carver ALIII ribbon speakers.

Currently I am running Klipsch La Scalas in my HT/listening room with a Heresy center channel, and Klipsch quartets in the bedroom, with upgrades.

Would I enjoy the Maggies, or the Carvers more? And should I hold out for Maggie 3.6r speakers instead?

Thanks for your input!

Thanks for helping folks!

I went with maggie 3.6's, found a local pair that I scooped up. They were a lot cheaper than the 3.7's, I could have bought 2 pair of them for the price of the 3.7's! Great Deal! and the 3.7's will not biamp without major mods! Sheesh!

I have a lot of Klipsch, maybe it's time I had a sale? I still have a pair of La Scalas in my living room, I moved one pair downstairs already. I do love Klipsch on certain lower powered amps, you know the ones, but they're not makin' bacon quite like my Maggies are, but I have no issues with Klipsch... they cost less than Magnepan for a reason, though!

I love my maggies. Just love them. They are the best thing I've ever purchased!

I bought a pair of Audio Research VT-150's to power them, it's running off my sp22 ARC Preamp, which had Balanced Outputs, which the amps needed.

The whole shebang is connected with Verastarr cabling, which I have found to be excellent!

I a/b'd a TON of amps, preamps, and cables before I made my decisions...

I love the Audio Research sound, the presentation is so sublime! Is this as good as it gets? All I need now is a good tube output stage CD player...
