A question for Maggie owners


I am curious about Maggies in the $3-4K range. I currently have Von Schweikert VR-4JRs fed by Wyred 4 Sound 500 monoblocks, a Modwright pre-amp and a computer based source. I have always been intrigued by planar speakers and a friend of mine sold them out of his store until the store closed. I know the entry level Maggies have a return guarantee but I am sure that they are not everything Maggies can be. What are your thoughts on switching speakers? I am used to the bass of the VSAs, but have a very musical Hsu subwoofer to pair with them. I am satisfied with my system and I am asking out of curiosity and can buy the Maggies to try but don't know if it is worth the effort.

Tgrisham,

I'd consider not just 1.7's, but used 3.6's. Both should leave you plenty of money for subs, which are pretty much mandatory with the 1.7's. I've heard good things about the Wyred with the Maggies, and they're about the right size, but I haven't heard them myself and YMMV -- the Maggies will be more revealing of the high end distortion of Class D amps and that may or may not bother you, depending. If it does, you can always trade for something else. But as I said, a lot of people have had positive results.
