quad 2805 vs magnepan 1.7

I will drive them with pass labs x150.5
I can place them 3-4feet max from the wall.
For classical music and vocals...
same price here for quad second hand and 1.7 new.
any help would be appreciated.

I would like to know if they can play acceptable in low volume levels (as JV wrote in TAS review). It's very ipmortant to me cause I have a baby in house. Quads are great in low volume levels. Keep on posting your expirences. thanks again...

The dealer in Greece sells the 1.7 for a bit more than 3000euro! I think I am leaning towards the quads. Listening in low volume levels is important. Are the 2805 adequate for symphonic music? (I don't need 105db peaks etc... just the "feeling" of the orchestra...)
