Esoteric MG 10 vs Magnepan 1.7

Wow, touched a nerve did we?

I actually did own a pair of 1Bs for a while. And yes, I've heard 2s and 3s in enough settings to know exactly how they compare to maggies. Ask anyone who has heard a pair or even owns them. Yes, they are high value speakers that offer a lot for the money. Is transparency their strong suit? No.

This ain't my first rodeo, so don't speak to me like it is.

Shakeydeal. The name says it all. Of course you have all this experience; after the fact. People like you always do.

Experience after WHAT fact? Could you be a little more vague?

Ok, your dick is bigger. You can move on now.

I didn't realize my question would become so personal in your responses. Maybe we should forget the Magnepan vs MG 10 speakers and consider the Merlins as a possibility. While you guys are duking it out maybe someone can whey in on this debate. Having said the above I think the Audes Blues are really good speakers but probably my wired 4 sound amp is not the right or best choice. For right now I would like to keep the Wyred 4 sound and pair it with a different speaker since I am giving the Audes to my son.

Guys can we start over and give me your best advice.

I'm the one that started it. I apologize if the thread took a bad turn because I worded my post in an aggressive manner. I don't take back the content of what I said. I still feel its true but I should have chosen my words a bit more carefully. I'm very picky when it comes to giving advice and recommendations. Too many new people give up on this hobby because they become frustrated and can't figure it out. I feel its very important to put comments in context. Theres a big difference between owning a speaker, not owning it but hearing it and reading about it. Information like that is valuable and relevant; especially to a beginner.

As far as the Merlins go, I haven't heard them. I can tell you though, a lot of people really like the them. I can't recall any negative comments about them at all. Given that, I think they are worth looking into.
