I only had the MG 2a's, which I loved owning, but IMHO, Maggie's are speakers that often sound better at the store or at shows because their reasonable price makes them attractive to those who don't allocate the funds for the amps that they need. That was me. I had 100 wpc Sansui BA-2000 amp, but not the right 100 wpc.
I went onto Martin Logan Quests, which were more ballsy, but have moved on to 40 inch tall dynamic floorstanders because instruments and voices have the right "in the room" size.. A triangle is believable in size as well as sonics. Same for singers, drum kits, trumpets and the rest. To me, you lose that proper sizing from five or six foot diaphragms.
