Magnepan 1.7 versus Proac Response D2 speakers

Unless you are familiar with Magnepans an in room demo is essential before purchase. At least that was my experience.

Yes they sound completely different. I've owned both the proac D2 and the Maggie 3.6. I don't care for either one but if I had to choose I'd go for the proac. I like the sound better of the dynamic box speakers though personally so that is my preference. Maggie is it's own unique thing for me it just doesn't sound quite right. Also the Maggie requires quite a bit more room and attention to setup like maybe a dedicated room they don't live as well in a living room as the proac would. I'd take Dynaudio over either of these or Revel too.

whenever I read a post like this I wonder, why these two speakers? Did you read good reviews? Have you heard either?

There are so many good products out there to choose from like Zu, Audio Note, Audiokinesis that are tube friendly and that might be considered.

my two cents...

good luck
