Klipsch vs Maggies decisions


Guys,I am in a dilema.I need to make a choice on either a used set of 1.6's for $1200 or a new set of Klipsch RF82's. I have had mags MG2C's and 1.4's since 1989and I love thier sound as long as you don't push them to hard.The klipsch's sound really good to me. Does anyone have an opinion if I'm giving up alot of quality? Please help...

I would not buy new Klipsh speakers. I would buy Chorus 2's or something like that. That is if I was buying Klipsch.
I would buy the Maggies and listen longer with less db's.

Buy the slightly older Klipsch, push em hard, they can handle it. They also sound very very good with softer more gentle music. Besides, with their high sensitivity rating you can give tube amps a try in the future.
if you prefer extremely dynamic sounding music then the klipsch are the ticket but if imaging & accuracy are what your looking for then the maggies are the ticket.

as cwlondon pointed out the asociated costs to run the maggies could be substancialy higher than the klipsch & make running tubes alot harder too.
jaybo,you're xactly right.I think when you read too much of this stuff you get a little brainwashed.Anyway I ended up buying the Klipsch because I think they're more musical than the Mags.As far as cwlonden,I can't afford to be an audiophile,although I woud make a good one.Thanks guys..Tony
I get a kick out of this. It's Klipsch hands down every time. There is only one great speaker being made in the world today.
