What qualities do you prefer? I ask because I've owned the 2CE signatures, Maggie 12QR (pretty close to the .7) as well as the Maggie 1.6s.
If image depth is an important factor, the Vandersteens win by a mile. Another plus for the Vandies is bass depth. While the Maggies, both models, present exceptionally clean bass, the 2CEs go deeper. I will say though, the Maggies go plenty low for most music. And that clear, clean bass is intoxicating.
For me, the 3 dimensional image form the Vandersteens wins. Best bet would be to get a pair of .7s from your dealer and demo them at home. Very important to hear them in your room.
