Advantages: works well on low wattage/normal amps, works even better on heavier amps (my Denon POA-1500, 2x240watt RMS @ 4 ohm) , very balanced but also impressive speaker: good voices, good instruments, very impressive low frequencies....

Disadvantages: sorry i think i like it too much

Summary
I wanted to upgrade my AR3a as satellite's with Cerwin Vega' for low freq's, both seperately amped. Visually not so nice but very impressive. Many audio-fans where truly impressed after listening to it. I decided to upgrade and listened to various quality speakers. I wanted to succeed in the 500-1000 euro class, and I concluded after extensive listening that none of the speakers could replace my current setup. So this got me stuck in the high-end-range, the financial region that was not really an option (Almost everything I buy is 2nd hand, no need for: "I have the latest, the best.." & so on). The Magnat Vintage 720 was the one I really liked, because of it's detail, impulse and low freq's (which are important to me). But I decided to wait and buy them if I could spot them as a bargain. At last someone tipped me for a website where demo's are being sold. I got them for a real good price (less than half) and they were practically unused. I was in heaven !
