Seeking advice from Maggie owners


Hello. I have all but decided to purchase a pair of 1.6's. Before I do, I would like to hear from any of you good folks that could comment on the wisdom of this purchase as it relates to my current listening environment. My living room is 18' wide, 12' deep with an 8' ceiling. Both the ceiling, floor and back wall are concrete (high rise condo apt.). The floor is carpeted. So, my question is...
Can I realistically hope to obtain "very good" performance from these speakers in this room? If so, in what position?
Once again, any advice you can offer is greatly appreciated. Feel free to also comment on the wisdom of purchasing something you desire even if it may not be quite appropriate for your current listening environment.
Thanks!
Don

As an ex-Maggie owner, I agreed with all the positive qualities that Hififile stated in his post. However, as a friendly warning, I'd like to add that Maggies are visually intrusive and can be easily tipped over -- not the speakers if you have young childrens or big dogs around the house. I was forced to depart with my MG2 10 years when my 2-year-old son simply coulnd't resist the thought of seeing how those large white panels collapse. Nonetheless, sonic-wise, the Maggies do present great value.
