Maggie 1.6 vs Von Schweikert VR 4

Hi,

My local dealer has been trying to get me to purchase the same speaker for quite some time- IMHO, for imaging nothing beats a planner. But subsonics are another story, what our local high end dealer has been doing, offering 8", 10", and 12" Velodyne subs with the maggies for the "bass" lacking customer. With the right room/crossover point, the maggies are breath taking. If I didn't have the money I have in my self built speakers, I would own what you have and a decent sub. I am presently looking at Martin Logans to clear some space and allow for a much more spacious sound that the maggies/ml's provide, yet the ML's offer this in a single package due to the addition of an actual cone woofer present. Floor space is saved and spl comes up due to the cone woofer.

Even so, if out right impact is what your after, the Von's will get you far better performance then your maggies or the Martins, but then so would any cone driver speaker of decent quality- imaging, however would suffer.

Remember, air movement is what creates the sound we humans hear, it's how this "air" is moved that creates the sound(s) we want and desire to hear as music.

Hmm, what is nobility? Would it not be fair to say that the Chineese should be noble and do the right thing to begin with? if you have such a problem with this issue perhaps you should write your congressman/woman, and dictate world ethics to them, but before you do so, examine that which you are so dispareged by, consider it's source problem, then consider your own ethics, AND what your DREAM would involve if YOUR desires were to be met, that is to say- consider the lives YOU would waste changing all of our opinions to meet that of yours, BTW, most likely these would be AMERICAN lives- go figure.

ESAD.
