about good stands....ya know what I have been using with monitors for years? Cinder blocks... yeah Im cheap... but as far as heavy stands...what could be better than concrete? I use Blue tac under the speakers...seems to work just fine. There is room to improve the amp... ( NAD 326BEE )...at the same breath....this amp is very good...strong reviews...etc.. I was looking at the Schiit Vidar when this all started, then I took a 180 and at the suggestion of the Schiit tech..( he said look for better speakers)...I switched my buying from an amp to speakers.
Vandie .7 vs Maggie .7
*** I tried to edit the TITLE.,,Sorry I mean Vandie 1ci Thanks
Hello to all! I am hoping I will get some opinions on these 2 speakers. I’m 65...a Pro musician with a degree in music. I’ve own of equipment for sure. Nothing in the Mega buck range. I did own a par of Maggie III’s 25 years ago. Vandersteen’s are really a brand I have never owned or stopped at a dealer or known someone who owned them.
I know opinions are GOING to vary. These are kinda 2 different speakers...but a similar approach. Maggie flat panel, and Vandie "no baffe.
I have an NAD 326BEE integrated amp..( very decent)....I’m about to spring for a Schiit Vidar. I have an MF V90,,Schiit Saga... I own Whafdale Diamond 240’s.
I was also set to pop for the Vidar and got into a discussion with someone at Schiit, and he generally said, looking at speakers/ headphones are usually a bigger change. So started my re-evaluation.
These are the 2 I am down too. I have 1400-1500 to spend. True-ness of timbre, soundstage are most important ot me ...because I have listened and played live music since I was 15.
I do very much appreciate your opinions. I want member to BE subjective and give me your take based on personal experience. Thank you very much, Otto
