Realistic bass for me is the 12th row and I've never been slammed by the bass at any performance I've attended. I don't sit next to the instruments at concerts or other live (unamplified) music venues. I've always run my Maggies full range for that reason. That's just my standard of comparison based on the music I listen to.

Lots of talk of the new ".7" Magnepan series speakers. Below is a quote from a current thread on the 'Gon referencing the weaknesses in Magnepans.

Does a well integrated subwoofer remedy the purported weaknesses in Magnepans? If anyone out there is running Maggies with a sub, what improvements did the sub impart?

However, if you are a Maggie owner/lover and haven't heard an Apogee ... when you do you may become an Apogee convert. Apogees improve on many of the things that Maggies don't do so well, like dynamics, bass response, synergy between tweeter and woofer panels, etc..
