Which is better - Maggie 20.1 or Soundlab M-1?

Duke: Does Sound Lab still offer the electrostatic bass panels? And for bass extension, what would be very interesting would be the Avant Garde BassHorns as subwoofers for either the Maggies or the Sound Lab. In general, you are correct about the bass pitch definition of boxed speakers, the exception being sealed systems critical damped with a q=0.5, like the Avalon Radians. They really have excellent bass pitch definition, of course, they have their own set of limitations.

Also, have you received a pair of Sound Lab R3s, and if so what subwoofer system have hooked up???

Brian: I think youa re correct in your assertion about being discontinous, if the crossover point was midbass at
around 250hz like the Martin Logans. I was thinking more in the bass region of 60 hz or less.
