Maggie 1.7's?

I heard them with some Mac gear. I wasn't impressed.

I agree, they are really that good.

I have owned Maggies for years, and 2 things:

1) I'm biased obviously, but I think nothing within twice the price comes close, and

2) Mac Gear NEVER sounds good with Maggies, I've always thought it a bad match. That said, there's a lot of speakers that sound great with Mac Gear.

I think that they're fantastic and can't be beaten for the money, if you have a big enough room so that they can breathe.

Ditto above, they are truly wonderful speakers. Must have an amp that is not faint of heart, and space to let them soar. A must audition speaker in my book.
