The former is an electrostat, the latter planar magnetic. Apples and oranges. The former is like Jezebel, very beautiful on top and mid, bottom end is a different story. Magnepan is a good speaker, cheap but the time and money spent on tweaks to get its fullest will cost you. There is no such thing as overpowered magnepans! Both requres a decent amp.
Me, I will take the maggies if push comes to shove.
Disclaimer: I owned ML Aerius, Aeon, and Ascents. Magnepan 1.6 (two pairs), one stock one modified. I now have a different speakers.
