Why not add a sub and you'll have it all.

I agree with johnto...Consider 2 subs. Then obsess and make it a science project. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/best-way-to-integrate-subwoofers Seriously, place a couple of subs behind the maggie's and "have it all" as mentioned. Or, get lost in audio nervosa and follow a thread like the one linked. |
Eminent Technology LFT-8b. Magnetic-planar drivers (similar to those in the smaller Magnepans, but push-pull rather than single-ended, and in a metal frame rather than glued to MDF) from 180Hz up, a sealed enclosure 8" woofer for 180Hz down. They play louder than the smaller Maggies, and extend lower in frequency. $2499/pr, home audition available for those without a dealer within 150 miles of home. |
IMO you're asking for a lot at $2500. Subs are the obvious choice, but if that's not your bag these Nola Vipers might be a good choice. Bass down to 28 Hz and mids and tweets are dipoles like the Maggies that may appeal to you from an imaging perspective. At $3500 they're a bit over your price, but as I said you're asking for a lot, and these were originally $8000. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649497865-nola-viper-ii-plus/ |
Add two good musical subs like the Rythmik 12” or 15” sealed. That will fall within your price range and should integrate well with your Maggie’s keeping the “air” and delivering the punch! I paired two of the Rythmik F18’s in a rather large room with BG Radia FS-420i planar ribbon speakers and the difference was startling. www.rythmikaudio.com |
