Magnepans or...Martin Logan


Dear All, ....sorry very interested but only newby.

Could I have insights on which to choose - up to USD 2.500 - and the reasons. Used or new. Brand and models.

Live in Santiago, Chile so very high addtional shipping and insurance costs - at least double.  Furthermore no possibility of local testing - no models available -...so I must get it right blindly first time. 

Type of music I listen to: Folk, Jazz, Movies, New Age.

Much appreciate your help.

Thanks and regards !

I am going to agree with the others. I am a Magnepan owner and have been for 25 years. Both Magnepans and Martin Logans are love them or hate them speakers. If you love them, you don’t want anything else, if you hate them, you are unwilling to live with their compromises. There is no right side in the love them or hate them, just what the individual’s priorities are. Spending this type of money on a type of speaker you have never heard, with no support, and no ability to return is not wise. If you insist, Magnepans, as they are lighter, have a smaller shipping package (single box) and easier to repair.
