Magnepan MMG or something else

Hi,

I'm looking for input on speakers. I am trying the MMGs and going into my sixth week with them. They do sound good but there still seems to be a little lacking in the musical involvement. I know that's subjective. They don't seem bass shy in my setup which is a McIntosh MA6600 and an ARC CD2 with a Pro-Ject 9 turntable. What are some opinions on these speakers or perhaps another moderate cost speaker that might fit the bill or is someone's favorite?

you can try Mye stands for them and do not forget speaker wire like Alpha Core MI2 Veracity (ribbon) which Maggies like

BTW Maggies can be broken in hard, they can take a beating and probably need more time to sound their best at which point they will express more nuance

Are you sure the bass couldnt be added to with a sub? Sure it may not sound lean but the extra punch and weight may make you really happy. Whats your budget and room like and also musical taste? Those will help for offering advice.

Look at the value of your other pieces...do the speakers really match your system?
