I own Maggie’s driven by Mac 501s with a Mac C220 tube pre amp. I went through a ton of equipment before I arrived here and have been content for a long time.
Maggies are very sensitive to room treatment and placement, but worth the journey IMHO. I have 3.6s bought new. I also use a sub for recordings like DSOM, etc. But the detail when listening to Takr Five by Brubeck makes you feel like you are in the room.
Just one guy’s experience, there are many great choices in this realm. One last thought from my PhD Economist wife, marginal cost versus marginal gain, $$$ do matter at some point in both directions. I found the sweet spot for my situation.
