Maggie 3.6 vs. Talon Khorus?


I know what the Khorus sounds like but I am not near a Maggie dealer. Can anyone help me with how the sound on the 3.6 is vs. the Khorus? I think I am going with one of these 2 for a complete 7 pc. HT system so I really need to know which sounds better for HT purposes vs. music as this will be used 65% for HT and 35% for music. Thank you for your input.

Actually the Maggie 3.6's are more like 86db sensitive. I had Mag IIIa's for years and tubes are a great mix for music but makes sure you have enough watts like everyone has said. But in dynamic movie gunshots the speakers are really fast and image amazing but sometimes they don't move enough air if you are looking for THX levels. This will cause the mags to flap against the magnets.. I have NHT 3.3's for HT right now.. nothing like 23hz bass flat.

But I'm breaking my system apart again and I'll probably go back to Maggies 3.6's or Maggie 20.1 (if I win a lottery), and try to power them with some VTL 450's for music. The magic on horns/accoustic bass/jazz and female vocals are amazing and like someone already said the upgrade game ends and you start looking like crazy for good music and watch the tubes glow.

If you like the Talons, Don't buy the Mags without hearing them. Bring your own favorite music and trust your ears.
