Martin logan CLS II Vs Magnepan 1.7

Hello
I currently Own the Logan and love the Midrange and high frequencies the presence and imaging is amazing however as im listening to more rock and roll I miss some of the dynamics or kick that the CLS cant reproduce.
I have heard great things about the Maggies and I am wondering if they will do a better job for me.
So I am asking for your opinion before I attempt to swap these, my next question is just how much are the Logans going for lately I would need to sell them locally since I dont have the boxes?
as always any advice is greatly appreciated
Thanks

I have to agree about Maggies and power,I thought my 1.6's were fine till a friend brought over a highly modded Hafler 500 that put out a measured 535 watts a side and showed me I had never really heard them.
Said friend was a retired EE Professor at U of Wisconsin and kindly sold me the amp for $20 !

I am with Nsgarch here. You would be wise to listen to him. I love magnepan. But the Cls2z with the right sub & equipment is very hard to beat. With powerful ARC amps heaven.
