Audio Physic Spark v. Joseph RM-22 sigs

I am considering selling my Magneplanar 1.6qr speakers and buying either the Audio Physic Spark or the Joseph RM-22s. Both are right at my price limit of about $2500. I currently use a McIntosh MA-6500 amp & McIntosh MVP-841 CD/dvd & Music Hall mmf-7. Room is 22' x 15' w/ 17' ceiling. However I have to sit 8' from the speakers (very weird, I know, but nothing can be done).

Thanking you in advance for your 'SOUND' advice!

All I can say is, you're in for a disappointment going from Maggies back to any box speaker.
Do you not like the sound or are you fed up with the ergonomics? That I could understand...they're big and difficult to place.

Well, I disagree with Tacs about dissappointment from shifting away from Maggies..

I used to drive Maggies 1.6 (with full XO upgrade) with the Stratos and finally moved to Silverine Panatella II with 300B SET amp. Maybe it's more of a combination between SS and SET as well. Anyway, though I miss some that Maggies did really well, I don't think I ever want to go back to 1.6 and SS though. At the end it's a matter of taste anyway. My 2 cents though.

I also heard that Mc and Maggiess mate quite well, so the best suggestion is to get your speakers first then compare with the Maggies you have and see which one you like better.
I never heard of the two you aim so can't help on that.

Good luck anyway,

Ake
