| Are there any current high end dipole speakers (dynamic)? Oh, no... I almost forgot some that are right up there with the Aeris in their sound quality - the Linkwitz Orions and LX-521's. I also have the Orions, which I'd rank with the Aeris, or very, very close, as are the LX-521's. The drawback - they... | |

Legacy Audio Aeris - can match or better pretty much anything of any type available.2. Nola's - but they're expensive3. GT Audioworks - outstanding4... | |
| How do you rationalize audio upgrades? I don’t "rationalize" my systems upgrades... because... for me... its totally... "irrational." | |

| Maggie owners (past, present, future) what do (did) you love and or dislike about them? +4... for the PG Magnestand Maggie 1.6’s, which I have also.
