Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr

Electrostatics have numerous issues...power handling and shrillness on some recordings.  They are good, but tend to be very tiring to listen to over time and at volume. 

One of the best, the old Mark Levinson HQD system had two pair of stacked Quad's and a Decca Ribbon Tweeter plus a couple of 24" Hartley woofers (full disclosure: my company made some of the stands and boxes for them).

Magneplanars, on the other hand. IF SET UP PROPERLY, and driven by pretty good hardware, simply disappear and let the music out.  No distortion, no "listening fatigue" or other negative qualities.  If you love pounding bass, buy a subwoofer or 3, I guess.

Go to your dealer, take various speakers home and have them set-up professionally by the dealer, and make your own decision, please.

Remember, YOUR ROOM is the most important element in any sound system.

Cheers!

@jhills and mwinkc:  I thought the OP asked about both, so sorry if I brought in other panel speakers.  To mwinkc, I just used that as an example of a major electrostatic system--it came out in the mid-1970's so would be hard to get today--would illustrate the lengths one may go to to have an electrostatic system that also requires a special tweeter and big woofers.  I was not suggesting it would fit in his room, so sorry if that was not stated directly.  Mea culpa on that.

My real comment was that while, like most people, I like electrostatics, they do produce an inordinate amount of what we used to call "listening fatigue" after a while at volume.  Magneplanars don't, and now come in various sizes, so it might be worth the OP's time to give them a listen in his room as well as the electrostats and see what HE likes best in his room.

Happy listening, no matter what the OP buys.  The most important element is being happy with the playback of recorded music of any kind.

Cheers!
