Three electrostat choices and my room-- need help


I am going to replace my old speakers. My wife wants only electrostats. I have wanted enough bass to finally have a full range set, good for organ, bass fiddle and maybe kick drum. I think our little club here has enough offerings for me to be ready to buy. So I start with three choices, but in each case, the ads here say "too big for my room".

My music room is 12 by 24. I like Martin Logan Prodigy, but feel the mark-up is a bit high, even used. We both like the Quad 989. And my wife likes the big Magenepans. What can my room tolerate? And all your wisdom is appreciated!

What a great problem to have! All 3 are fine choices. I personally use the Magnepans with all McIntosh solid state gear. My room is about the same dimensions as yours. The Maggies work superbly!

On a side note, I had the Martin Logan SL-3 speakers prior to the Magnepans. I like the Magnepans better. If you fiddle with placement you should be able to zero-in the Maggies to a perfect sound. Get the Maggies!
