Squashed(?) LRS

Glad to hear the speakers are working well.
Though I have Vandersteen, I would have opted for Maggies if I had the room. I can still remember being mesmerized by the sound they put out. And, that was 30 years ago.

I am not trying to offer any kind of evaluation as I am clearly not qualified/experienced/etc.

Hey, if you have a pair of ears, your experience is as good as any.

In any case, Enjoy!

As a former Maggie owner, this is normal and does not indicate anything wrong.  The advice given is perfect.

I could also notice swapping the panels (ribbon tweeter inside vs outside) changed the "shape" of the presentation.

In the Maggie community, this is debated almost as much as Analog vs. Digital or Tube vs. Solid State.

I have setup well over 100 pairs of Maggies in all kinds of environments.  I can count on one hand the number of times tweeters out worked better than tweeters in.  These were in really large rooms with lots of room to the sides and rear of the speakers, but I know some owners really like the tweeters out.  Not me, but that's just me...

I'm just so overwhelmed with moving things around, hearing the many differences. Haven't even gotten around to seeing what I really prefer!

Was kind of cool having to draw attention to the cables coming from the back to 3 different people who didn't believe they were speakers!

At first they put their ears close to the other speakers in the room that weren't playing. Then over to the LRS and started walking around them, listening from the back, etc.

Then came: "$650?  Really? That all?  Where can I get a pair"
I started saying something like: "Yes, just $650 but wait!  You need to understand the importance of amp requirements, room dimensions/acoustics, placement options, etc."  

Realizing that's about as far as this newbie could/should answer further questions, I told them to check out Audiogon.

For me, jury's still out on tweeters inside or out, ...

Just recieved my Maggie's 0.7's about two three weeks ago and had the same issue, cloth stuck to the internal ribbons. Like other's have said use tape. What worked best for me was clear packing tape. I gently applied tape on the edge of where the cloth was sticking to the internal ribbon and gently pulled and worked my way to the center of the panel (patience is a virtue) and within 20 minutes the outer cloth was totally free from the ribbons.
I then ran my Maggie's continuously for 100 hrs for break in before any serious listening. Of coarse I had to listen to them right out of the box and must say, there is a big improvement in sound quality in every respect after breakin 
I've heard they really need 400 hrs for proper breakin. Can anyone confirm this? Also I'm driving them with a Spectron MK III D class amp
with 500watts@8ohms 650@4ohms & 1,200@2ohms........boy do the Maggie's love this amp! With this much juice (65 amps for 500 milliseconds) makes something as unassuming as a small bell in the background have amazing energy that I've never heard before!
