In my small (12'x 17') room, I found the 2CEs overloaded the room with bass no matter where they were positioned. The 1.7s do not. The 1.7s are easier to move around and sound more transparent but are fussier with your equipment and source material. If you really want great dynamics + loud, look at horns (ie Forte II, Cornwall, Chorus, etc.)
Vandy or Maggy?
What would sound better in a medium sized room with Symphonic
Music, current model Vandy 2's or Maggy 1,7's?
I have a AVA Synergy 450 Amp which has tuneful base and can drive either well.
I've owned Maggy 1.4's , my knock on them was they were not very dynamic and didn't portray depth well, but it was easy to follow the various lines and instruments.
I've heard Vandys but not much and was a long time ago.
Any and all ideas much appreciated !
