Magnepans or...Martin Logan

Dear All, ....sorry very interested but only newby.

Could I have insights on which to choose - up to USD 2.500 - and the reasons. Used or new. Brand and models.

Live in Santiago, Chile so very high addtional shipping and insurance costs - at least double.  Furthermore no possibility of local testing - no models available -...so I must get it right blindly first time. 

Type of music I listen to: Folk, Jazz, Movies, New Age.

Much appreciate your help.

Thanks and regards !

If given a choice I would definitely go with the Maggie 1.7i which I have owned( moved up to 3.7i).
When auditioning thet sounded far superior to similar priced ML.
What brands of speakers are available to you locally, maybe you'd be happy with one of them and save the shipping and tariff hassle.

What Amps are available there. When I had 1.7 I used a Parasound Integrated and the sound was magic . It gives you 2.1 so adding a sub at some point is easy, you also get digital as well ad mc and mm phono inputs very hard to beat for the money if available there.
Enjoy your Maggie's you have selected magnificent speakers.
