Why don't you like Mageplanar speakers?

I owned Maggies for ten years, but moved on to dynamic speakers for two main reasons. As well as they did many things, realistic bass with "slam" was not one of them. The other thing is that they're something of an interior decorating conundrum if you don't have them in a dedicated listening room. It's hard to integrate two wide, door sized panels into a living space gracefully IMO. Also, they're picky as hell about partnered amplification if you're looking for the absolute best possible results.

Bass violin, Tuba, Organ's low notes are the instrument no Maggies will ever play even dropping the fact about 'slam'.

Stand near a tympani, conga, bass drum, low note organ pipe register, etc. and tell me that the perception of bass physicality is "bogus."??? No one's talking about shaking your neighbor's car windows down the block, just attaining a sense of realistic acoustic energy energy in a room at normal levels. I think most who've listened to Maggies long feel that they have to be listened to rather lively volume levels get them to sound alive and fully present. Elizabeth's living situation makes what is a deficit for me a positive for her. Different strokes for different folks, etc.

Adding a couple of Vandy subs(the fastest ones) may rectify their negatives tho.
