Tannoy Kensington SE vs Magnepan 20.7


I know these are completely different speakers at a close price range. Which speaker would play better for all genre?

2 great speakers and so different.

If you are a detail hound, if you love transparency and "float", if absolutely colorless presentation is important, and if you can live without dynamics and impact, the Maggies.

If you want more "substance" (not meaning bass, but meaning a SOLID performer compared to a bit more of a hologram that reminds you of music), if you want more impact and bass, the Tannoy. They image great, but not that "airy float" of stats and maggies. I don't happen to think that sounds just like reality, but many love the effect. Great products, great companies, so much more "real" than most high end boutique companies.
You made a great choice. You will feel what the Tannoys are all about: music, listening to and soaking in the music.
