disagree. the IRS Delta/Gammas easily bested my maggies, even with Fathom and M&K subwoofers. There's something about dual 12" woofs in each cabinet that just can't be matched.
I am a huge fan of magnepan, but the delta/gammas were better in every way.
I'd take a Tympani 1 with subs all day long over them easily . Hands down bested the rs1b with ease way better mid range it's not even in the same league .
At nearly 6ft tall line array dipole drivers vs what infinity has to offer, not even the IRS beta (by far even over the IRS v I've heard) I preffered the lemims and to me definitely leaps the emims.
We went over to the Tympani....it's not even close. The mgIIIa same story the true ribbon bested the emits in clarity and definition. The midrange of the mgIIIa was for me lackluster.
The mg 2.5q was fantastic, way better midrange than anything emim loaded including my renaissance. It's again , not even close with the size the maggies could project midrange in a room. I never heard any gap between the drivers (that I did have with the mgIIIa, I absolutely could not listen to them)
Not sure how much space you have to play with but I totally experienced it differently. I had pretty much every mg model and Tympani out there.
The issues I had with maggies and that's why I totally prefer my kappas.
It's not a complete full range system, you will need subs and you will need space. My space could house the Tympani 6x4 stature. But that doesn't take away they are buttugly. And off axis response is just horrible. So we went back to cones with definitely more low end fortitude and no need for subs .
Kappas are definitely not the most defined speakers they color. But to me that equates to a more forgiving speaker overall speaking.
It's very situational I'd say
