I like Maggies too, but, as is the case with all speaker types and models, they have their own set of strengths and weaknesses that may not fit the particular priorities of any given listener. For me, the biggest issue is that they come alive at a volume level that is a little bit too high. The other issue I have with them is that they don't pair well with the type of amplifier that I much prefer--low-powered tube amplifiers. I've owned Maggies, and can very comfortably live with them, but, I prefer the particular horn system I've assembled.
The Charney and Rethm systems the OP is asking about have very limited distribution and are really only known to audio cognoscenti, while Maggies are ubiquitous. I am pretty sure the OP and anyone who are interested in them have run into Maggies before and for whatever reason, are not considering them.
