"Recent advances in computer assisted design of enclosures has changed the landscape a bit."
Time marches on, unless it doesn't.
I have heard three pairs of Klipsch Heritage speakers all with enclosure designs from 30 years ago. There are kilobuck speakers made today that can't touch them.
As for maggies, I have owned heavily modified 1.6s and stock 3.5s. Both very good. I actually thought the 1.6s did rock better because every time I would crank up Neil Young's Reactor album, I would either blow a fuse or take out a tweeter on the 3.5.
Maggies can rock, but nothing reproduces a kick drum like a 15" driver.
Shakey
