What a waste of a good speaker. I really have to laugh when I look at the systems posted on the Gon with big ole honking TVs between the speakers. What a joke. Sure it's good for movies, but don't fool yourself into thinking you are hearing music the way it should be. Even if what you propose is an all out HT setup, it's still a waste of a good pair of Maggies.

Oh, I know how good maggies sound. I used to own a pair of 1.6s with heavily modified xovers. But it seems like a waste of ANY good speaker to relegate it to HT duties. I guess it all depends on where your priorities lie. For me, my modest Boston Acoustics/Pioneer/Samsung/Sharp video rig does just fine for movies in a separate room. But when it's time to listen to music, I don't fool myself with thinking it can be a contender.

The bottom line is, if you have to combine a music and HT system together, just realize that there are compromises to be made. They can co-exist, but not to the full advantage of either one.

I'm not talking about electronics, although what you said IS debatable.

Speaker placement. Ever heard of it? Put your speakers where they will accurately reproduce a movie soundtrack in relation to your screen and they will not be positioned best for two channel music. And vice versa. No question about it.
