Magnepans vs Quad 22L's..


Hi Guys, I currently am listeing to Quad 22L's and like them. However I have the urge to try some Maggies. I've read a lot of good things about them. I kind of live off the beaten path so previewing is tough. I'm thinking about MG12's or 1.6's. My main listening is blues with some classic rock and occasional guitar oriented jazz. Any comments on how they compare with the Quad's?

Hi Beernut,

The 22ls are a great set of speakers, and maggies can be great too - but both have the comprimises, requirements, and limitations.

Maggies are harder to drive than your 22Ls, and require much more breathing room. the 22Ls will be more dynamic, and the maggies will be more transparent.

There's no right answer - really it's up to you which you like better, and which would work better logistically with your system and room.
