Hello Im curious to know what made you decide to change. Im sure you, like most of us, change components for the sake of something new or a different "flavor" but was there something that you grew to dislike as time went by with your Maggies. Thanks for help, Emil
To Eldartford, I don't know about the pipe organs, what you say may be true but I don't listen to music with pipe organs, most of my listening is Rock or Jazz and the sub woofer just always seemed to be diconnected from the rest of the music.
I enjoyed every minute with my Maggies the last 8 years being the central piece that everything moved and changed around them. The magic of their sound lies on the huge soundstage they reproduce and the airy treble from their ribbons-really addictive in large orchestral works. Now the downsides(ascending order): 1. No real bass 2. Thirst for watts, considerable hidden cost on amplification 3. Persisent opaque quality of midrange 4. Not up to the best in transparency, musicality and detail I will never forget them.
