A Question for Maggie lovers/owners


I have recently had the great pleasure of listening to some great sounding high end systems recently. These systems had speakers such as Kharma, Wilson, B&W, Thiel, Goldmund. Each system, with the different speakers, had something I admired and truly enjoyed, however, none of them had a quality that I refer to as "musicality" or just a "naturalist" way with the music like my MG-20R's in my home system.

Now, the point of these post is not to argue what the BEST speaker in the world is, their is no BEST, but many great sounding speaker systems, but to pose this question to other Maggie lovers: Do you often listen to other speakers that you enjoy/admire many of their sonic virtues, however find them not sounding to your ear as "musical" or as "natural" as your Magnepans? That other speakers do certain things better, but do not give the "Gestalt" of the music like Magnepans do?

It would be great to hear the opinion of other Maggie lovers or other Gon members who might not agree with this soundpoint.

MRT, what Maggies do you own? On Apogees my only concern would be that of long term reliability, as the manufacturer has expired a while ago"

Apogees are rebuilt on a regular basis ...just like Maggies. The Apogee tooling and stock did not go to the scrap yard...it was bought and is in use by a former Apogee team member.

"Perigee Acoustics" is another Apogee option...they make replacement ribbons that you can install yourself, if your up to the task, or have one of their dealers install for you.

Off topic I know, sorry....just a FYI I could not pass up.
