Maggie MMG versus Ls3/5a


Hi all,

I've been running British Stirling Ls3/5a V2 with the additional two bass extenders for a number of years, with great satisfaction. They are here to stay.

But, I've always been curious about the Magnepan MMG and SMGa speakers and I wonder if anyone has compared them with Ls3/5a? As an additional flavor to swap in and out with my Ls3/5a, would they be a rewarding contrast? I have the required muscle amps.

wow...interesting question...short answer...YES...the MMGs/MG12s offer a good taste of the Mags strengths at a competitive cost...I ultimately could not live with their anemic bass...but you are aware of this...and might have better results...Vocals, strings, acoustic material shine...just no reggae, electronica, or rock.
I doubt it, I have a pr of MMG's , throws a big soundstage but that's about it.
MMGs are very good set up well and within their limits and not very expensive, so always worth consideration for something different from most box speakers. I would keep a pair around myself if I had the room.
