alternative to maggies?

help - i have & love my maggie 3 series speakers - but i have a cat problem & have read & tried to resolve it various ways. if i must search for an alternative speaker to satisfy me like my maggies & you also love the maggies what speakers costing no more should i try to listen to to satisfy the beauty of something that otherwise don't need fixing? i listen mainly to rock & jazz. i don't just want speakers which sound really good but that sound really good = lively airy spacious etc compared in the same room as maggie 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7's.

Lock the room and do not give the cat a key.

King Sound Kings are a superb electrostatic with incredible bass response too for and electrostatic speaker. Friend of mine drives his with a VAC 110watt/channel integrated and they sound amazing! Very realistic price too. Very similar to the Maggies with the speed and openness, but the Kings have better bass in my experience listening to both.

If you want a speaker that sounds better than the maggies for about the same price as a used pair of 3.6s, buy the GMA Continuum 3s on Agon right now. Green Mountain Audio speakers have that boxless sound that maggies have, with better dynamics and deeper and better defined bass.

I have owned modded 1.6s and stock 3.5rs, and they are indeed good speakers. But the C3s do that and take it up a notch.

So that is my recommendation.

Emerald Physics! I have owned the CS-3's and now the CS 2.3's. Open like Maggies but with much better dynamics.

ty all for the suggestions. glory & hoopster win the prize for their ideas but i guess it's gonna come down to plastic bags. my only concern is being careful to not pull over & on or over & off the bags & damaging the ribbons.
