I would take another dealers thoughts on a brand he doesnt carry with a large dose of salt...a friend of mine has the 1.6s which are amazing speakers...regardless of price...I would suggest taking the drive to hear Maggies...and bring your credit card...chances are u will like what u hear....if I had the room...I would seriously consider the Mags...and just for the record...they have plenty of bass...bring some music..kick back...and enjoy the most transparent speaker on the market...also...nothing sounded exaggerated to me...
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!
