Magnepan or Carver???


I have a line on Magnepan 3.5r speakers, or a pair of Carver Carver ALIII ribbon speakers.

Currently I am running Klipsch La Scalas in my HT/listening room with a Heresy center channel, and Klipsch quartets in the bedroom, with upgrades.

Would I enjoy the Maggies, or the Carvers more? And should I hold out for Maggie 3.6r speakers instead?

Thanks for your input!

drumhead makes a really good point--you need a ton of power for either the maggies or the carver. another consideration is that many people (myself included) feel the maggies need a sub or two (they don't go as deep as the carvers). yet another consideration is that placement is extremely critical to both. all that said, if you're up for the challenge and you've got the $$, i'd pop for the 3.6 maggies, which really do sound great under optimal conditions.
