Magnepan’s don’t image well either 

Clueless.

Whoever mentioned Bose and Maggies in the same breath probably needs instructions for toilet paper.

I will bet it sounds like a "live concert" that you could listen to "all day and night long" without fatigue! (just thinking back to an earlier post).

to answer poster Roxy's question, i also have a pair of thiel cs.5 speakers that are my main music listening speakers, along with a pair of omni 50s for the rear channels, a universal surround box sourcing their sound feed. have maggies in another room, and the person who said they don't image well must have problems with his, mine are like a sonic hologram [not to be confused with the colored-sounding carver gizmo].

this video shows the 901's positioned wrong. they were desighned to be against the wall. back in the day they were siad to have cadillac quality in a volkswagon space! i have 4 901 series 2 powered by a mcintosh 600 watt per chanell amp! when i crank up the volume at maybe 400 watts they sound dam good to me! sometimes at a high volume even bad speakers sounds good!!
