Think twice about removing the terminal strip on the VLRs. On Vandies, the terminal strip is tied right into the crossover, giving a very direct connection. If binding posts sounded better that's what RV would have used. That said, they're your babies, so do as you wish!! Enjoy!
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
