Maggie owners (past, present, future) what do (did) you love and or dislike about them?

I've always owned dynamic speakers, but I'm ready for something different. I remember about 15 years ago auditioning a pair of Maggie's at a small shop on the Plaza. Don't remember the model but I was astounded by the clarity. Couldn't afford them then, had 2 kids in college. Presently own a pair of Monitor Audio Gold 300's and they're very good speakers, but I've been reminiscing about the clarity of those Maggie's and I want a pair of the 3.7i's. Those of you who have experience with Maggie's let me know your love (hate) relationship with them. My room is 17 x 15 with a sloping ceiling up to 10 feet. Is that enough room for the 3.7i's to perform at their best?

Your amp should be fine I’m running my 3.7i with 500 w into 4 ohms never a problem always sound great. I wonder how many of these people saying your amp is barely adequate actually own the 3.7i.
When I had my 1.7i i was using 240 w at 4 ohms and boy did they sing.
With Maggie’s it’s how much current the amp puts out.
I should add my room is 12x 15 so as long as you can give space behind them you're fine. I love the clarity and soundstage of Maggie's.
