quad 2805 vs magnepan 1.7


I will drive them with pass labs x150.5
I can place them 3-4feet max from the wall.
For classical music and vocals...
same price here for quad second hand and 1.7 new.
any help would be appreciated.

Lcouplin, I'm NOT JOKING around here ! These new and improved BOSE series 6 version 2's ARE THE REAL DEAL ! They are using different speaker drivers in these new 901's now and they SOUND DAMN GOOD TOO !.. Two pair of 901's "STACKED" are very hard to beat.. AT ANY PRICE !..
Sure they are; ROFL! No highs, no lows, must be a Bose. Bose has been a total fraud from day one, it is sad that anyone still takes them seriously. Their whole "reflected sound" gimmick is totally bogus.
Don't you just love it when someone asks a serious question about A versus B and some jerk feels compelled to chime in and say "ya godda try the Q instead"?

They don't ask about room or amps or listening levels or musical preferences, or what the OP owned previously. They just charge ahead suggesting EVERYONE else should agree with their personal favorite.

Peace be with you!
I always liked bose for there pricepoints. The highs are rolled off, but the bass for there size used to be VERY good on the 301's back in 01-02'

Anyway, I love Magnepans, specially the 1.7's.
