Magnepan MMG or MG12?


I have enough to buy the MMGs now, but I am concerned that I will be left wanting and upgrade soon. Can anyone speak to the performance advantages and disadvantages of the MG12 vs the MMGs? Is it true that you get 90% of the MG12 by buying the MMG? I have the money for the MMGs now, but I will have to save a little longer to get the MG12. I will be driving them with a vintage Yamaha M-65 amp that is stable down to 2 Ohms...I think its rated at about 220 per channel at 4 Ohms. Thanks for your thoughts

The MMG's deliver a lot of bang for the $$. The MG12's do the same but give you more of everything. I own the MG12's and am still smiling. IMHO the Mg12's are woth the extra $$.
MG1.6 are a bit more money, but probably represent the maximum performance/dollar point of the Maggie line.
Thanks for the response guys...My "Domicile Commander" has approved the purchase of the MG12s at the retail price. I am wondering (Eldartford's Comment) whether I should get a used pair of 1.6s. Its always something with this hobby...always looking
Another vote for the MG12s.
Find a pair for sale here on A'gon and jump on them!
I've had the MMGs and recently acquired the 12s. Like Beernut says "more of everything". Get the 12s and save up for Mye stands.
Aaronr...For Maggies I would stick with new. They are a unique technology and not easily evaluated as to condition. But if you can, listen to MG1.6 along with the 1.2 and then you decide. Whenever I have bought equipment that was not really what I wanted I have become dissatisfied after a few years, and ended up buying again. When I bite the bullet, and buy what I really like I am satisfied for a decade, and in the end it costs less.
