Do the big Maggies play LOUD

It seems to me that asking for speakers to play really LOUD is like asking for a car to do 150 MPH top speed. I agree that 0-60 in 5 or 6 seconds is fun, but how often do you drive 150 MPH? I have a pair of Maggie 3.6s, and I like to listen at loud volumes at times (especially when my wife is out of town 8^) My previous speakers were B&W N803s, and with a Bryston 4BSST powering them, they could get loud, but I don't think that I ever played them louder than I play the Maggies. The room is reasonably large with 12 foot ceilings, and believe me, the 3.6s can go louder than I care to listen.

Rock is not just about loud. Sure the Maggies can play loud, but it's not "loud" that we're talking about. That visceral heart pounding bass, air moving, windows rattling, rocking sound just ain't the same with Maggies as it is with horns and cones. For some, maybe, but they aren't Woodstock'n rockers...lol... :)

Okay ......... I guess LOUD is really loud and if it's not loud then it's LOUD. One can get LOUD or loud with a pair of RAT SHACK speakers! I guess I just don't understand LOUD or loud to say the least! hahahahaha
