Please forgive me for asking a question in this question, but as I lurk on this post, I too am considering the Maggies vs the M-Ls and have the same budget. Since those of you who have posted have experience with the both, I have a question. Is it worth getting either of them if I can only pull them out 36 inches from the back wall and no further, and am sitting 11 feet away? If so, is there one of the Maggies or M-Ls that is better suited. Thanks to all for your in depth answers, they have helped many. And thanks to PAL for letting me interject this question.
Which Magnepans 3.5 or 1.6?
I am looking to purchase a set of Magnepans. My budget is about $1800. Would I be better off with a new set of 1.6QRs or a used set of 3.5s? I am using a CAT SL-1 mk 2 pre, Resolution Audio Opus 21 cdp, and for now an old Bryston 4B amp. My next step will be to replace the amp.
