Vandy or Maggy?

What would sound better in a medium sized room with Symphonic
Music, current model Vandy 2's or Maggy 1,7's?
I have a AVA Synergy 450 Amp which has tuneful base and can drive either well.
I've owned Maggy 1.4's , my knock on them was they were not very dynamic and didn't portray depth well, but it was easy to follow the various lines and instruments.
I've heard Vandys but not much and was a long time ago.
Any and all ideas much appreciated !

Schubert, I have had more than a passing interest in the Totem 1 Sigs for some time. I will be very interested in how these work out for you! Keep us informed.

Like Dynaudio, hard to go wrong with Totem I would say.

Well I know i'm not buying anything with China made drivers
like my my old standby brands such as KEF or PSB etc etc no matter how great the "reviews" are. And its not a matter of patrotism either.

Totem and Dyna both use Euro drivers.Only Dyna I ever owned was an Audience 42 which was musical.
Totem seems at a price advantage with the Canadian dollar at 95 cents vs the Euro pushing $1.40 .

No doubt higher quality drivers made under tight tolerance and high quality standards will get you further, pound per pound, wherever they happen to be made. They will also tend to cost a tad more accordingly. That's a big reason I consider Dynaudio a gold standard brand in audio. Totem is similar TTBOMK. One might take to the sound of something else better, but the quality behind the sound is undeniable.
