You may want to consider the Legacy Calibre it is a bit more expensive but it does not sound like a mini monitor it has real bass and throws a gigantic sound stage. The Calibre use a large custom Heil AMT tweeter so in the top end it is delicate and resolute like the Maggies.
As per your dilemma you do need to visit a major city or go to shows.
if you can visit our shop located 15 mins from Newark airport we have:
Quad, Kef, ATC, Paradigm, Alta Audio, Legacy, Elac monitors on display.
You should also check out the ATC SCM 19 which are huge sounding monitors also very detailed and clean extremely dynamic.
Good luck
