Vandersteen 3a vs Magnepan 3.7i


Hi I'm wondering if anyone has compared these speakers. I currently have the Maggie's but find vocal glaring or haze on many recordings even with the resistors. My listening room is 12x15. Most of my listening is rock with some jazz and classical thrown in.

But in general most detail freak audiophile setups I see suffer from excessive toe in.....
Thanks Johnny R

adding some high visibility fly line backing ( free ) to my speaker setup bag !!!

speakers on long or short wall? tweeters in or out, IF out how close to side walls. Severe toe in ? Is the ribbon pointed right at you ?
sorry to pepper you w ? rather have ya tweak setup vs spend ¥£€$$$


thanks for the info, do you have some LP and digital same recording, does the glare happen on both ? use caution and spl meter to level match voume between sources...

thats some pretty fine front end gear...should be sounding prtty good, amp should not run out of steam.....
somewhat extensive experience w both, agree that IF it is not the speaker and your problem does not seem to me Maggie related, then switching to the revealing midrange driver in the 3a will NOT help. Having said that, perhaps you are clipping amp, or another issue. what else do you have in system ? 

Happy Holidays !
