Lookup posts here on Agon regarding Maggies and Vandy sub combos.
And, yes, I have heard the combination. If I had to give up my Treo's, a pair of Maggies would be my first choice.

Vandersteens, PSB or something else?

Stewart, If you have a chance to audition the 5 and 7's in a home system or at a shop, I think you'll find out how awesome they can be. I have found that often times folks listen to the 5 and then the 7's and dont' fully understand how great the 7's are. They are subtly so good. Their attack and decay is amazing to me. Using Richard's amps with a great pre, you will be able to relax into the music. It's got dynamics out the wazzou too. It gives so much information without smearing that it's almost hard to 'get them' as you aren't used to hearing that type of sound. I dont' even know how to put it in words, but if we were listening together, I think you'd fully understand what I'm trying to say. Tomic has the 7's and can better explain. I went from Treo's to the Quatro's and it's just blowing me away. That carbon fiber cone is just amazing in it's recreation of mids. They just become part of the room and the best part is that they love to be pushed into the corner and up against a wall. No need to pull them out into the room as you can eq the bass. That's just a great thing to have. I hope you get a chance to audition them in a non show environment as I think you'll have a blast. |
+1 audiotroy I am a dedicated Vandy guy, and I agree 100% that Vandies are not the choice for HT. Love Maggies too, but they're not meant for HT either. Horns, cones, sensitivity, efficiency, durability for HT, IMO. Now, for listening to 2-ch music like I do, I only listen to Vandersteen. If I had a larger room, I would also consider Magnepan. Tom |
