Speakers better than the MMGs?

I currently use a pair of MMGs. Love them...but are there anything else out there that beats it and cost around $500-600?

Have been looking around but always ended up doubting that they would sound better than the MMGs....Has anyone own the MMG and then later bought something else that was much better? Price must be around the $500-600 though...that's my budget!

Anyone heard of Tube Audio Designs TAD-805C speakers?

Thanks!!

I own SMG's, got them used on CL. I also have a pair of DCM TimeWindow 1's. Awesome speakers for the money. The widest soundfield I've ever heard. Better bass, and high end than the SMG's, and more efficient.

It depends what you are looking for in a speaker.

Big bass and dynamics? Then yes. Pinpoint imaging? Yes. Natural vocals and strings? Probably not.

All speakers represent a compromise.

Especially $500-600 speakers.

Doubt it. You need to raise your speaker budget or spend the money on better front end equipment and continue to enjoy your MMGs sounding even better.

Yeah, 1.6's. yeah, they cost more, but you are only going to find better speakers if you pay more than the MMG maggies. I have MMG's, listened to them for 7 years and love them. I've been all over, listening to lots of things, and like others above have stated, it depends on what you like in your music/speakers. IF you are a maggie person, it is extremely difficult to find anything that compares at twice the price. I tried. I bought a used pair of Magnepan 1.6's for $1100. WELL Worth it! I WANT 3.6's, but will only buy them when I find a pair locally, close enough to drive to.
