Not many speakers are able to do justice to frequecy around 30 Hz or so and those that do are not cheap at all. I also owned Maggies at one time and I think that they are better capable of reproducing bass than most box speakers at similar price level (cleaner). Lowest note which a piano can handle is 27.5 but is rearely heard in any music CD. Next up the range is the double bass which goes down to 41.5 Hz on its own.
I would choose high quality speakers (the best one can afford) and stick to its lowest frequency reproduction capability at/around 40 Hz or so. A speaker like this would probabaly take care of 99 percent of the albums in general.
If more bass extention is needed, a sealed subwoofer like Rel Strata will come in handy, which is extremly versatile in coping with real world room acoustics.
All the above is just my own personal opinion, based on the various equipment that I owned over the years.
