Love the Maggies :wub:

Kerry,

Wendell Diller came into town last week for his latest roadshow, demo-ing these:

(pic is not from the shop where I heard them, but I don't have a decent pic from that night)

Inside panels are for mid & upper freqs, while outer panels are for lows.

I absolutely love the Magnepan sound.  I have the 1.6 model, but fell in love originally with some of the larger models.  I've had mine since 1989 and still like the open feel.

Great minds,..

with Jensen x-over (will I ever get around to building enclosures?).

Although I’ve always liked the sound of the Maggies I never had the pleasure of owning a pair. 

I had a pair of Apogee Duetta Signatures that I loved. I foolishly sold them to a friend because I could never set them up properly to get reasonable soundstage in the house I had. 

There is another major disadvantage of the Apogees - they need monstrous amps to drive them properly. The Maggies on the other hand seem much less peaky and open up many options for amping.
