I started my Maggie journey going to a Vandersteen dealer with the intention of purchasing 2Ce Signatures. But he had a pair of 1.6's sitting around. After a 4 hour audition listening to each speaker for two alternating 1 hour stints with some of my favorite discs, I came to some interesting conclusions. I found the Maggies as powerful and dynamic as the Vandies as well as having a comparable midrange. The major difference was that the Maggies have a narrower sweetspot. Both throw a great soundstage. I ended up taking the 1.6s home and upgraded to 3.6s four years later.
Maggie 1.6 and Vandersteen 3A sigs
I have both speakers in different systems and while my Vandys are very nice, the Maggies are just............special!
Does anyone out there have any thoughts on the comparisons of these 2 highly regarded speakers?
I augment the Maggies with a Vandy sub as well so bass, dynamics, and impact are not an issue with them. I'm using the 3A Sigs with no sub.
