You cannot compare electrostats and ribbons. As good as the Mosaics ATF (ribbon) tweeter is, its still no much for the panel. The Clarity are the better speaker of the two, but this takes nothing away from the Mosaics. Our soundroom is approximately 20' by 14' and they have no problems filling the room with ease. I was pushing them with the B&k PT5 preamp and Ref 200.2 combo. Wonderful combination. Deep soundstage, strong imaging, and a very fleshed out midrange. Open and extended on the top end without being bright. I don't see Martin Logan owners being drawn to this speaker as much as it being able to draw potential customers to Martin Logan who otherwise may have never considered the brand. Price/performance killer. As to how it compares to the Maggie 1.6QR, I do not know as I don't have that speaker avaiable to me for comparison. I would suspect that the Mosaics would hold their own.
