Cones vs thin film speakers? So why not both. I have a pair of MGCIIIs, MGAs, MG1Cs, MGWs, MG on walls, DWMs, and a MGCC2. Not all work. The IIIs were sold as only needing a pair of ribbon tweeters needing a rebuild. The midranges were also shot. The MG1Cs were given away, their dog knocked them down, and back to me they came. The on walls are awaiting new thinking for the highs and lows that are missing. One MGA sits under the tv, serving as center channel. The MGWs alternate with my newest speakers, Martin Logan Clarities. The DWM's sit inboard of the mains whether MGW or ML. Side by side the MGWs have a tad better/more midrange and presence. The Martins have the superior highs and 8 inch cone bass.
I like Maggies.
I use various 200 wpc at 8 ohms amplifiers, all ss. A DBX two way crossover set at 75. Two 10 inch Kickers, each in a sealed 2 cuft box. A 12 inch Kicker in a 3 cuft sealed box. A Denon POA6600 drives the subs. It has taken years to put it all together.
Mewsic you can try some of the Magnepans direct from the company. Starts with the LRS model, and you can return or trade up within their policy. Subs are a must. If you are looking for speakers that reveal and do not conceal, these sound close to real. If you are looking to peel the paint off the walls, stay with cone speakers for high spls. Happy listening in your quest.
