Maggie 1.7's?

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.

Like the 1.7s? You'll love a pair of heavily modded 1.6s......Wood frames to replace the MDF and rotated to pole piece forward. Some even modify the crossover. And I mean an all-new design

For the price difference, if you are at all handy with wood, you can do it for about the same $$ and have a better speaker.

I always wondered about Mac and Maggie.....What's the problem? I've heard of bunches of combos with either....but NEVER together!

but where's the bass?

The McIntosh amps that I have owned have insufficient current to drive any Magnepan. No balls
