If you have the room to allow the Maggies to be placed correctly (well away from the wall behind the speaker), it would be a very good apartment speaker. As a dipole speaker, the bass energy from the back and from the front are out of phase with respect to each other and cancel at the sides. A LOT less energy spills into the room and much more seems concentrated in the listening area where the speakers are aimed at. This is not just theoretical. When I went from dipole panel speakers to dynamic speakers, I was shocked at how much louder the sound was in other rooms. You will be able to play the Maggies louder than most conventional speakers without disturbing neighbors.
If you have to go with smaller speakers and/or placement closer to the wall or corners, look at Audio Note speakers. These do well in such placement and sound reasonably lively at lower volume levels. ProAc and Harbeth are also good candidates.
