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

I'm not a fan of panel speakers for their laser like sweet spot, dynamic ability and generally poor transition to what ever is being used for low frequency. A trade show is no place to be critical of a product but I was extremely impressed with Sanders Sound Labs complete system which seemed to avoid those pitfalls.

The only other panel system that impressed was a pair of Soundlab powered by Wavestream Kinetics V8's set up almost near field in a small room at the Analog Room in San Jose.
