Magnepans are simply NOT good for rock and hip-hop. I sold my Magnepan 3.6's for this reason, and have been very happy with my Gallo Reference III's for all types of music. They do small ensemble, orchestral, rock, hip-hop VERY well. You can add a subwoofer amp to drive the 2nd voice coils on the woofers to get sub-woofer level bass (23 Hz).
Best versatile speakers?
Hello All...
I would like to hear your opinions regarding the best versatile 2 way monitor or 3 way small floor standers that will do justice to all types of music. My wife and I listen to all sonic types of music from Ute Lemperer / Mozart to 70's and 80's rock to 90's hardcore and some Hip Hop.
For this reason I have always stuck with the Paradigm Studios. They seem to handle everything well.
We are running a Space-Tech Tube Pre and a Nad 270 power amp
Sources are a Toshiba 3950 - DVD-A / Sony Sce-775 for SACD and using a Benchmark DAC-1 for redbook. We also have a MMF-5 Music Hall for vinyl. The room is small 13.5 long x 8.5 width and 9ft high.
Suggestions beyond the Paradigm Studios? The Signature line is too easy a leap. For the money we want to check out other options.
