reference 3a MM decapo ia or magnepan 1.7?

Hi,

Long story short, I owned both, like the DeCapo's better.
YMMV.

Good luck!

havent heard the maggies but own the de Capo's and my wife likes them lol

they do sound great esp w/tubes

It's .all about strategy. My wife suddenly thought Maggies looked pretty good when she saw the Wilsons.

I have owned both MG 3A's, 1.6's and three different sets of De Capo's including the latest 2010 model with all the improvements. I recently upgraded th the Reference 3A Episodes. The big questions are, what size room are you putting them in and what amp do you plan on using with them? What types of music do you prefer, and at what volumes? They are both great speakers when paired with the correct amps, and they both do certain things very well.
