Maggie 1.6 and Vandersteen 3A sigs

I have both speakers in different systems and while my Vandys are very nice, the Maggies are just............special!
Does anyone out there have any thoughts on the comparisons of these 2 highly regarded speakers?
I augment the Maggies with a Vandy sub as well so bass, dynamics, and impact are not an issue with them. I'm using the 3A Sigs with no sub.

The way I hear it is that the Vandersteen is a much more complete speaker wear as the Maggies have that very special midrange.with little else. For some, that midrange is so good that everything else can be ignored...For everyday pleasures, I would need the Vandy's

Since you have both, I think you are in the best position to judge them.

I agree with Sidssp.If you have both,why are you asking other people for comparisons?Just curious.

when I bought my 1.6s I compared them (on the same system)with a Vandy 2Ce sig (I think) and every time I listened to the 1.6s it was so much more open I had to have them. The Vandys just sounded a bit more ordinary...
