Magnepan 1.7 versus Proac Response D2 speakers


Hello, I am torn between two speakers. The Maggie 1.7 and the Proac Response D2 speakers. I know they sound completely different. I have 2 Velodyne DD15+ subs. The speakers will be powered by a VTL Stereo 150 amp, Audio Research LS25mkII, and Meridian G08 CD player. I listen to everything from Jazz to rock to dance music. I would appreciate any ideas. Thank you!

Yes they sound completely different. I've owned both the proac D2 and the Maggie 3.6. I don't care for either one but if I had to choose I'd go for the proac. I like the sound better of the dynamic box speakers though personally so that is my preference. Maggie is it's own unique thing for me it just doesn't sound quite right. Also the Maggie requires quite a bit more room and attention to setup like maybe a dedicated room they don't live as well in a living room as the proac would. I'd take Dynaudio over either of these or Revel too.
