Magnepan MMG for HT

Does anyone have these is a ht or heard them in a ht application? I use my system for 80% ht and 20% music. I currently have B&W DM620's for fronts, B&W CC6 for center, and Rock Solids for surrounds. I am using a Rotel DPL processor with Rotel Amps. I will be upgrading to DD/DTS processor soon. My question is - will the maggies be an improvement or should I continue with the B&W's.

Forgot to mention that I have a Velodyne sub. Does your friend use the MMG's for all 5 speakers?

Maggies are notoriously ineffecient so be sure you have plenty of power for them and they are harder to place than the 602's you have. In terms of wife approval rating, the 602's are a better choice. Otherwise, say sound great.
