05-18-15: LrskyI love my "little" Maggie 1.7s, but if I had $40K and space for 9-foot-tall speakers, the SL Majestic 945PX would be on my short list.
After much contemplation, I'm leaning toward the SL.
They were great in '04, and I'm sure they've made lots of improvements.

It's true that the entire Maggie line is a bit of a bargain compared to box speakers in the same price range, but I suspect you could say the same thing about $40K SLs vs. similarly priced box speakers.
