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?

I believe your room is fine and your power adequate.  I have had 3.6 Maggies for over 10 years.  I went through a number of amps and ended up with a pair of MC501s that make them sing.  It was a journey, but most satisfying when the end is so great! 
One last thing, for me, a tube preamp also raised the bar musically with my Maggies.

If I had a big room, I would move up the chain, but I feel I am limited in that regard.

Good Luck and Happy Listening
