Klipsch Vs axiom
Bill has it right.Thanx, Russ 
Magnepan & Manley
Which Maggies? Maggies and tubes can be a special setup but a lot will depend on your listening taste and volume you play. The 250s are pretty stout but a Maggie can suck up 250 watts without even trying. I'd need to know more about the system.Tha...

Trying Magnepans, need advice
Get the MMGs and a sub.Thanx, Russ
