Magnepans vs Quad 22L's..


Hi Guys, I currently am listeing to Quad 22L's and like them. However I have the urge to try some Maggies. I've read a lot of good things about them. I kind of live off the beaten path so previewing is tough. I'm thinking about MG12's or 1.6's. My main listening is blues with some classic rock and occasional guitar oriented jazz. Any comments on how they compare with the Quad's?

Thanks for the input. The 22l's retail for $1600.00, can be purchased much less. Not sure electrostats would work in my system. I tried Martin Logans once and felt they needed more breathing room. I hear they can be difficult to drive also. I tried the 22L's and loved them, however a pair of Audes Blues were made available at the right price, they now occupy my room. I still have an unsatisfied urge to try Maggies someday, perhaps the MM12's(?)

Good Advice. I kind of live of the beaten path so listening auditions are tough.I've heard great things about the 1.6's, but you are correct-I'm used to dynamic speakers. Thanks for the input.
