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 !

Ctspooner , " proper speed ,pitch and tonality sounds like great description of "tunefull" bass to me.

Martykl. that sounds like a great idea with the MMG's, I thought of it myself but didn't think dynamics would change much.
Only problem is I use expensive(for me) MIT speaker cables and I'd have to get another pair to go from subs to speakers, correct?
I've never heard 2 subs connected through speaker connections.

Schubert,

I always advocate an active x-over (and I have no other experience for the MMG/subwoofer combo), so another pair of cables and an outboard active x-over between the pre and power amp (or sections - if the AVA in an integrated with pre out and power in) is part of the deal.

Might be a budget killer.

The Dreamcatchers are so good I'm buying a pair of Totem 1 Signature standmounters which just may do me.
Thanks all !

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.
