Charles1dad, I completely agree with your comment about J. Valin's opinion having no bearing on your own experiences. Reviewers' opinions do not impress me that much; they have their own tastes in sound, and their systems are different than yours. However, a review may spark my interest in product if I have similar taste as the reviewer.
That being said, I don't like Maggies with true ribbon tweeters (3 and 20 series) because of the discontinuity between the ribbon and planar magnetic drivers, even the new 3.7s. Otherwise, I think the big Maggies are great provided you have a big powerful amp, preferably tube.
