MMG or Vandersteen


Hi I have come down to two possibles and are looking for a recomendation. I am trying to find a set of new main speakers for my HT/Music setup. The choices I have come up with are Magnepan MMG's or a used set of Vandersteen 2ci's. For the around $550 which would be the better choice to go for music like Norah Jones, Patty Griffin, Dave Matthews Band, Damien Rice, ect. These will be run by a Rotel RB-980BX amp which is 4ohm stable. My CD player is an Usher CD-100. I am looking for very good Music playback for the Folk/Classical/Jazz type's of music, but also good in HT formats. What do you think?

Do the 30 day "free" at home trial of the MMG's. Then, if you're not convinced, return them. Then pick up a pair of used Vandys. If you like it less, resell them. You'll know what you're after when you've heard them both.
If you're not willing to go to that much trouble, it won't matter enough to you which you own.

OR, BETTER, Buy the Vandys and do the demo of the MMG's so that you have both on hand. Return or sell the loser. Worth the extra 10% or so added to cost to determine your preference.
