Speaker choice advise requested...

(((I have a nice Wyred Integrated(plenty of current))))
 
Is it dead sounding?
Can you try a Bryston or another conventional alive amp
 and are the 1.2 ohm resistors installed ?
 

I have a Wyred integrated which I do like and source is an Oppo BDP 105 and a Denon TT. I do not have the resistors installed in the speakers..My amp is very well reviewed as is the widely popular Oppo. Speaker cables are Spelts anti-cables which are known to be a good match with Magnepans. I really can't move the entertainment center because it's weight but it was a good question...

(((My amp is very well reviewed)))
I am not a reviewer.
 Assembling a great system has nothing in common
 with a popularity contest.
I have done exact comparisons with your equipment related to your scenario.
I am actually trying to help you.
If you can get to the back of the speakers try installing the supplied
and factory recommended 1.2 ohm resistors and report back with results.

Thanks audio connection, will do.

Goodness, it's not his amp or fuses.  The Maggies are a fussy speaker for placement, that's Maggy knowledge 101.  Suggesting that someone try a Bryston, when he's got quite a respectable integrated amp, does not seem helpful.  

If the speakers aren't blooming well, then attenuating the tweeters by installing the resistors won't create more bloom.  

People aren't reading the thread.  The OP mentions his amp(and clearly mentions his issues) and people are suspecting the amp, and asking why he won't mention it.  Sigh.  

Beernut, you seriously can't go wrong with either the Tannoys or the Klipsch for the kind of music you prefer.  I'd say your research is bang on.  I'm suggesting Tannoy because I own them and prefer them over the Paradigm, Ascend, and Pioneer speakers I've compared them to.   But there is a big following for Klipsch too.
