Between Maggies and the Hales, I would pick the Hales. It all depends on what you prefer or look for most in the sound. Thd Hales will give you a more balanced sound reminicent of the real performance. Maggies on the other hand are very transparent sounding speakers. If you value transparency over everything else, then it is the speaker of your choice. IMHO, you should go for the Hales R2 or R3 if you have a bigger room. Great speakers at a great price.
