Replacement for Maggie's?

So I have been thrilled with my magnepan 1.6's to the point that I have upgraded every component to the point that even the power conditioner costs more than the speakers. My question as the headline suggests is that where do I go from here for speakers? I love the Maggie sound for its wonderful depth, life like size, and soundstage. Dislike its lack of bass. The rest of my gear consists of Ayre C5xeMP, Ayre K5xe soon to be MP, Pass Labs X250, APC S15, Grover Huffman XLR's, Signal Cable bi wired speaker cables. Thanks

If you like Maggies, you will love Apogees. The problem is finding a pair. (PM me - I have a paair of Calipers for sale).

They are a bit more cohesive than a Maggie, being all ribbon. They have the same kind of power requirements but are more dynamic by far and have better bass.

I've heard the GT Audio speakers twice now at different shows. Yes, they definitely do something special, and at a great price too. They are a wee bit smaller than a Maggie, but not by much.

Harri - I think the black sock with Cherry sides is the nicest look. Why not just replace the sock on them and please your wife while you are at it?
