Magnepan 3.7 or PSB Synchrony One?

The Synchrony One's you will want to listen to for hours, the Maggies you will not. I find all Panel speakers fatiguing compared to box speakers.

Maggies are hard to drive? They're driving 20.7's with a 125watt at the Magnepan factory. As to to not playing loud, you can sit in my room and I'll bet you can't hear the person yelling at the other end of the couch.

This is a great help - thanks

I hope to see additional input as well. I'm not as able to spend large amounts of cash on audio stuff as I once was so it's important I do my best to make a wise choice.

You need to hear these speakers for yourself, there is no substitute. I own the 3.7s and I haven't gotten much out of the responses on this thread other than each partisan defending his own choice, which is par for the course on internet forums.

Thank you Djcxxx -
I know and it seems to be the nature of things. Audio is a pursuit of passion and as a result opinions, likes, and dislikes get defended. That's part of the fun. :-)
I agree listening is the optimum way but I'm in the 'sticks' so it's not always and easy thing to accomplish.
I always like to hear from others. In part because it's very easy to get impressed for a short time by something,especially speakers, and later find out what seemed a minor flaw in the beginning is something that wears on you long term.
