I had the same experience with Maggies that Zd542 did. I really wanted to like them but next to my AudioKinesis Jazz Modules they were a disappointment. On the other hand the Quad ESL-57 speakers I have now are another story.
The Maggies are a great bang for the buck, but you can do better. Especially if you are willing to go to $4k.
