I think that you will find the presentation of the Talon's and that of a Maggie to be quite different. Which one you like best will have a lot to do with your room, speaker set-up and personal taste. Sean

A strange thing happened on the way to...
I was auditioning a pair of Talon PeregrineX speakers this afternoon. They are on a short list of speakers in which I am interested. I was very impressed with the sound.
I told the salesman I was looking at the Magnepan 3.6. He said it was a good speaker but that along with the big soundstage comes exaggerated size on voices and instruments too. I have not heard the Maggies yet, but if this is true I would not be interested in them. I like tight defined imaging and have been working toward this end for several years now.
Does anyone know if this is true? Are sizes in the soundstage exaggerated as he described? I want to go and listen to a pair, but it is a five hour drive from where I live. If I am going to be disappointed by this trait I'd rather not take the time. If anyone can offer some insight I would be appreciative!
