Hello, I have owned both the PSB Stratus Gold and now own the Magnepan 3.6's. I have listen to the 1.6's also. These are two different kind of animals. It depends on what you listen to. I find that rock and country rock sound better on a more dynamic speaker like PSB or better yet Thiel. Light jazz,blues sound great on the Maggies,very open. I run a Classe 300 amp with all balanced equipment and I don't feel as comfortable jamming the Maggies as I did the Psb. For the money they are both great speakers at there price level. Listen again with your own tunes. Youe ear will tell you!
