Have Maggie 1.6s, looking to switch it up.


I have had my 1.6's for little bit now and can't help but wonder what a decent conventional speaker would sound like in my set up. Prior to the Maggies I had inexpensive bookshelf speakers, it has been years since I have heard a decent full range "box" speaker. Looking for recommendations for a good size floor stander in the $1000-$1500 range used. I have considered Gallos and Zu among others so far.

Thanks all, magfan I will switch them around and see how it sounds. I have also noticed that playing them out of phase can also produce some interesting results. I really love the sound of Maggies, I guess my curiosity is starting to get the better of me.
I did switch the panels around and I can say it made a big difference. I suffered from a similar problem of my image being more focused towards my boundry wall on the right, switching the tweeter orientation really focused it. Just to clarify, I do not intend to get rid of the Maggies! Instead of swapping something new into my main rig, I think I will set up a smaller system in a separate room. I have always been intrigued by high efficiency systems so I will likely go for a HiEff floorstander with a low power tube integrated. My source will be my laptop running wirelessly through an Airport and into a MF VDAC, then the amp(same as main system). We frequently entertain so I think it would be interesting to get peoples thoughts on the different sounds, hi power/low efficiency vs. hi efficiency/low power. Off on a tangent now, thanks for the suggestions everyone!
