Magnepans for the Blues?


Hi, I have had the urge to try some Maggies . My main listening tastes are electric blues and classic rock. Will these be a good match? Source is a Cary 308 CD and amp is Rotel RA 1070. Input appreciated.

I've only tried the 2.6's and based on those I'd say no way. They are very inefficient, rattle on any serious bass note and sound vague unless your head is stapled in one place it took hours to find. Maybe other models are vastly better, but think about your priorities, what you are after, and look for speakers with those strengths, because many designs have compromises to accomplish a unique effect in some area but your ears will find the flaws eventually. Satisfaction is when you enjoy the sound without analyzing it and being "impressed" in one area. You may give up something you want to chase an elusive quality in another area.
