I use to be a Maggie owner,but found I could get the same transparency through Box speakers wihout them be as problematic and they are more of the euphoric signature instead of being true to reproduced sound.
I use modified NEAR's which are somewhat the poormans Wilsons.
You need to audition several speakers which are not of the Dipole nature and that fit your taste. There are a few manufactures I would love to try like JMR ,Green Mt. amongst others which I know would satisfy my taste.
The things that drove me nuts about Maggies were room interaction,amp synergy amongst other things.
I would still own Maggies .I have nothing against them as they are fine speakers,but I wanted easier speakers to deal with that gave me some of the same thing like soundstaging.
Bass is a big part of the music btw and deep bass is hard to come by. Not having to rely on an outboard Sub helps.
When adding a sub you are going to have the occurance of the sounstage being effected weather you know it or not.
When hearing true bass performed by great bassist you will know how much it counts. John Entwhistle was the finest bassist and system reproduction I ever got to experience.After that I knew how important Bass can be.
Then there are the percussions and if you really fgo deep then chamber music like church organs will be the thing to test as you know owning anHSU sub. Not many systems or people need that deep of reproduction.
Good hunting!
