In case you haven't seen the new Maggie?

No, but it may well broaden the appeal of the line to those who like the sound but cannot accommodate the larger Maggies properly, which would include me. I've owned Maggies and would consider a Maggie satellite/sub system in a heartbeat as a way of fitting Maggies back into my house somewhere.

They remind me a bit of those little mylar speakers with sub that some of the mini systems you used to see at Brookstone employed.

Assuming these require lots of power to sound good, which is my current understanding, Class D amps may be a natural mate with these for those that are cost/size/power/space conscious.

"See my earlier thread titled "How's Your Power Bill" under Misc. forums. Unfortunately it denigrated into a slugfest between certain Liberals and Conservatives."

Gotta fess up that I was kind of an instigator in that "slugfest" when I said:

"At the risk of sounding "smug", Class D amps are the equivalent of hybrid or even electric cars in terms of energy consumption. Similarly spec'ed and much larger Class A amps are like Hummers!"

Then I made things sort of worse by joking about my impressions of Barack Obama's audio preferences.

Sorry. Won't do that again!

As an audio freak, I did find it way more entertaining than your typical fare on Fox News or CCN though, I must admit!

Anyone who starts going on and on about politics here will surely regret it!

Right! Now back to the discussion at hand regarding the new Maggies.........
