never heard them with Maggies. I tested them listening to Martin Logan SL3s (which go down to about 1 ohm at their lowest impedance - I believe at 20kHz or so?). I thought they were great. At the time, I compared them with VTL 450 monoblocks and an Innersound ESL amp (stereo, not monos). Source was the same on all and ranged from Sony SCD-1 (or 777ES) to high-end Esoteric and Wadia 861 (two sessions 2-3yrs ago and I remember it like yesterday). The NPMs are very "smooth", a bit warmer/sweeter than the VTLs and Innersound but far from cloying or too warm. Plenty of control for the bass and plenty of what I would call delicacy on the mids and highs. They had absolutely no problems with the MLs on a variety of music at the frequency extremes. If they hadn't already been spoken for, I probably would have purchased them. I ended up with the VTLs instead (which were a bit pricier) but I could live with either of them for a long time (or forever). In fact, if you have found some and decide not to get them, PLEASE send me a mail...
