Vandie 1c or Maggie MMG?

Maggies no doubt. If you want more bass, just add a higher power ampliphier, and no speaker will image better than a Maggie. I love Vandy's but dude.... not a contest in my book. The 1c is not a great speaker, it is not the little brother to the excellent 2ce Sig, it is the "Red Haired Stepchild" of the line. Maggies need more power, but will play louder than the 1c and I will beat it for bass as well, and once again, imaging, it's the Maggies.

I have an idea!! Buy the Vandy's used here on Audiogon, then order the Maggie's from Magnepan. That will work since when the don't come for sale here very often and when they to they go in about 10 minutes, and the price used for the Vandy's is close to the Maggie's new. Then compare them.

I believe Magnepan has a 30 day trial period. Just send them back if you like the Vandy's better. If you like the Maggies better, then sell the Vandy's again. I have done similar comparisons a bunch, thank God for Audiogon.

Good luck.

PS - I would love to see the numbers on how many sets of Maggies have actually ever been returned.
