Magnepans vs Quad 22L's..

Hi Guys, I currently am listeing to Quad 22L's and like them. However I have the urge to try some Maggies. I've read a lot of good things about them. I kind of live off the beaten path so previewing is tough. I'm thinking about MG12's or 1.6's. My main listening is blues with some classic rock and occasional guitar oriented jazz. Any comments on how they compare with the Quad's?

I am a Maggie user, and I think that the MG1.6 is the best choice of Maggies for most people. It has later technology than the 1.2. Of course the MG3.6 with ribbon tweeter is supposed to be better, but costs a lot more, and may have reliability problems.

However, no one should buy Maggies without listening to them. The spatial presentation of a planar speaker is very different from what you are used to. You may love it, but some people don't. Best to find out before you put down the $$$.

Good Advice. I kind of live of the beaten path so listening auditions are tough.I've heard great things about the 1.6's, but you are correct-I'm used to dynamic speakers. Thanks for the input.
