Maggie 1.7's?


So I stopped by a store just for fun and listened to the Maggie 1.7's. I'm blown away by how good I think they are.

Am I just awe struck or are they really that good?

I haven't had a chance to stop again as I was planning. Next week I suppose.

Like the 1.7s? You'll love a pair of heavily modded 1.6s......Wood frames to replace the MDF and rotated to pole piece forward. Some even modify the crossover. And I mean an all-new design

For the price difference, if you are at all handy with wood, you can do it for about the same $$ and have a better speaker.

I always wondered about Mac and Maggie.....What's the problem? I've heard of bunches of combos with either....but NEVER together!
The bass is there. Just not down to sub basement levels like a good sub.

for MOST music this is no problem. Lowest note on a non-Bosendorfer Piano is about 27hz, so LOTS of speakers considered audiophile won't do it.

Pipe organ? down to a nutty 16hz. How many full range speakers will do THAT?

Good setup in a proper room helps all speakers....even those pesky panels.
Aolprodj,
You are the FIRST person I've ever seen post with a Maggie / Mac combo.

I know their must be more, but I simply have not seen it in print. ........

Do you think the MA6900 has enough guts? I don't do ear-bleed levels?
Maybe the Mac folks down the street will loan me one for a couple days?
I gotta try this for myself!
