Anything better than 1.7 Maggies

Hi,
I've been looking for speakers for some time now. I have an older pair of Maggies (10.1s) and I love the sound. I want to go for the 1.7s but am wondering if there's any used product out there for around $4k which would be even better for my music (rock.. some pop and classical at times) maybe reproduce the crack of a (snare) drum (rather than the thump) better (where i think Maggies lack but I am not sure if the x.7s have the same problem).. I wanted to try Emerald Physics 2.3 but they are rare to find.

I know people would have asked this before but please help.
My amp:
Rotel RB 1090 (380 WPC)
Though my room is big about 25x10 my sitting position will be about 6 feet from the speakers.
Thanks!
Saum

I have the Maggie 1.7's now after owning (And liking) the
Emerald Physics CS-3's and CS 2.3's, and have found that the
maggies sound "wonderful" with a 50 W/PC tube integrated.
A match made in heaven actually! I would have never thought it would be so nice especially after running a pair of
260 W/PC mono blocks.

I am running a sub with the Maggies as I did the CS-3's and they are magic!

Hi Lrsky,

I own a pair of 1.7's and agree that they are fantastic! I am
btw thinking of buying a DK design integrated from a local
friend, and am wondering if you had any experience with the combo? Don't you own the new company that was once DK??
