Which speaker has the biggest sound stage?

Sorry, I just read it as you wrote it:

"The issue of the glue which holds the Mylar and wires together is NOT one that ANY customer should worry about." (emphasis added by me on 'any').

My comment was concerning the absolute 'any customer' as I have first hand knowledge to the contrary with my friends and two other Magnepans I have owned in the past. Admittedly 'older' Magnepans- a model 1267 (which most hear have never heard of) and a pair of Tympanis.

If others didn't have that same experience; that is good fortune indeed. I am not digging on Magnepan as a lot of speakers need attention after a period of time (replaced dried out caps, woofers that need re-foaming, etc). Such is life in the audio world.

Lrsky, I'm sorry you took my comment as an attack as that was not my intent. I only commented on what I had first hand knowledge of.

Enjoy the journey...

The biggest most natural soundstage I've experienced with images placed in a real 3 dimensional sound field were captured to the greatest extent by a pair of Soundlab A-1's and the absolute best, a pair of highly modified Infinity Ref 5s. I also had a memorable experience with the Apogee Stages in this respect and considering their price at the time, a bit over 2K I seriously considered their purchase but really didn't have the space at the time to allow them to perform their magic.

I always thought the Maggies presented a very realistic image but never produce a stage to the extent of the above mentioned but then again I never heard the Tympani IV's

Texas,
I was simply giving my experience. It's like anything else...ymmv. However when Elizabeth said, 'You will'...I had a knee jerk...with me 'jerk' being the operative.
I know the Maggies to be incredibly good and reliable.
I really didn't take it as an attack at all. I was afraid one comment would escalate to another and they's become the scourge of the universe...

Good listening,
Larry

Thanks for all the replies. There are quite a number of suggestions and I did a lot of readings. I am quite interested in the Gallo Reference 3. To be honest, the planar speakers like the Magnepan won't get my wife's approval to put in the living room. I am just starting my research until I can get a dedicated room. So, I will keep an eye on the Gallo 3.
While reading the Gallo 3 on 6moon, there is another speaker that also get a luna eclipse award - the Zu Druid. Anyone has any experience with it? It falls within my budget, and it looks good, easier to pass the wife-test. Would it be an upgrade over my B&W CDM9NT?

Thanks.

Gte357s, there is always the quality vs quantity factor to weigh. ie: the music or a wife's disapproval. would a means justify an ends, or ends justify a means? Disclaimer: I'm a bachelor
