In Reply to: Can conventional speakers soundstage like maggies? posted by Mike in NJ on April 14, 2007 at 21:31:24:
present in a recording depends not only on its specific design, implementation (including the all-important crossover), and the electronics driving it, but also placement, room acoustics, and listening position. Yes, the difference between line-source and point-source wave launch applies, but I've heard convincing soundstages "thrown" by conventional systems (e.g., Avalons and Wilsons) where the user or audio dealer has taken care in attending to placement and room issues. That said, I've voted with my dollars for Maggies.
